Roach.

What do you do when there is a cockroach in your room?

You scream for your mom.


What do you do when your mom says she's "too tired from work" and isn't being very helpful?

You leave the room and come back 10 minutes later, hoping the roach would've left the room.


What do you do when it hasn't budged at all?

You poke and prod it with a stick.


What happens when it finally leaves (thank God) and you need to go to sleep but you're just too paranoid about it coming back in from under the door?

You build a mini fort.

Like this.

My sister, not I.

Preferably with books you're never going to have to touch again.

Um, in case you'd ever need to know.

Our neighbours just moved out, and they left the house looking pretty run down.

The wooden boards are being eaten up by termites, and I think the mites are migrating from the neighbour's place to our place.

Insects and the like, urgh.
