Scaredy Cat


Hey all, guess what, Spring Break is here!!!! No homework for a week!! And what will I be doing you may ask? Studying!!! Wooo! Yup, I know how to party it up on vacation :)
Anywho, today's post is: Day 10: Something you're afraid of
So I'm pretty much afraid of a lot of things...but the first thing that comes to mind is SCORPIONS!!!
Secretly I think they are super cool, just like I think spiders and snakes are super cool, but I do not like to have them near me unless we are separated by a glass wall or something. I'm seriously a wimp around them it's kind of sad. I've even been stung, twice. It HURTS!!!!!!
But they are still amazing little guys, if you don't live in a place where th
ere are scorpions, you should definitely come visit me this summer so we can go scorpion hunting. It's superfun, because if you have a UV flashlight, they look like this:
Yup, they are fluorescent. Awesome. Also they are hard to kill. I mean, easy to squish, but other than that, they are super resilient. One time my mom and I were trying to figure out the best way to kill a scorpion. So we put one in a cup and put some alcohol in there which usually works pretty well with most bugs. But not this one. They also apparently can live months in a jar without food...but I don't really want to test that because it makes me feel like I'm causing needless suffering and torture and stuff. So I just stick with the squishing. Bleach works pretty well too, but squishing is easier.
