Millipedes!!!!

The kids go "so cute" over any animals and insects that don't bite. That includes big fat slimy lizards... yes, Auntie J and PJ. They obviously do not take after me.

Today, we saw millipedes and they started touching them with their shoes to see them curled up. Moments later, they were picking them up with their hands and going "so cute" bcos Daddy Lim said that millipedes don't bite. I don't see what is cute about them, especially not when I picture them growing into dreadful butterflies. Wait, millipedes dont turn into butterflies. Never mind, they all look about the same. The kids were squirming with delight as the millipedes crawled and tickled their palms. I feel faint.

Then, Zaky picked up this BIG and FAT one. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

They brought the millipedes and took the SAME lift with me. I feel weak and in no position to insist that they discard the millipedes. It was the most antagonising lift ride of my life. I am so glad to survive the ordeal. I can only hope it wouldnt be cockroaches, butterflies or beetles the next time.
