DO NOT READ!! I assure you that this is nothing!

ARE ANY OF U AFRAID OF INSECTS?



I FREAKING AM!




It was a fine dark midnight AND I, Dan the Man
was hungry and decided to make some instant noodles.
Okay... that wasn't the highlight of my post.
The highlight is this:

When I was cooking and boiling my water...
I noticed something scurrying at a corner of my eye.
I turned quick to catch it, with my eyes of course, to
see wat the heck was it.

And Lo behold, the heck was a freaking ROACH!
I was stunned....
I was thinking of all the possible ways to get rid of it
but I am REALLY afraid of touching that thing!

I stood there facing my formidable foe while my hands\
quickly handle my noodles....

when I was done, my Dad appeared out of nowhere
and he was slowly stumbling around the kitchen.
He has Parkinson disease u see, so his movements are
very limited depending on his will and medication and
strength.

Time2time i see him suddenly just fall down
its really sad and pitiful.... really
i cried

but anyway,
What a relief to have my Dad here in my hour of need.

So I quickly informed my Dad about the Roach.
My dad looks at it and there was no reaction nothing.
WOW... so cool...
so I quickly left the kitchen to dine my noodles while I
leave the insect ridding to my dad.

After a few movements I hear, then I heard a silent curse
.
.
.
.
then silence
.
.
.
.
then slow movements of things moving around
.
.
.
.
then I heard a light splash
and a short cackle followed after that.

My dad then hollered to me and say
"got it!"

I wasn't surprised of his boldness to deal with it
I was more surprise of how a fast little thing like
that can lose to my dad's slow and lumbering
movements

Then my dad says in Chinese.
"That stupid cockroach is fast, I give it that.
I tried using my slippers and plates, (Plates!
Goodness.... are u sure that wasn't my plate?
Cause I still wanna use it!) to try and hit it.
But "Chinese foul language" that thing just can
hide anywhere and squeeze through here and
there.

So I thought of what is the fastest thing in the house?

Water."

Then my dad explained to me his experience with
cockroaches told him that these things has a bad habit.
When they run to a corner, they just stay there cause
they thought you can't see them.
Well, they were wrong!

My dad say he took HOT BOILING water from my noodles pot
with a scoop and slowly rinse the water over that thing.
And lo behold....... Death is imminent.
Actually the roach didn't die of it. It was badly injured thus
slowing its speed dramatically.

And that was how my dad got it.

After that.... I laughed so hard I lost my appetite to eat.
A slow dad with Parkinson disease can eliminate a small fast cockroach
And me.... a sportsman who is pretty hyper is freaked out of it.

pussy me!
I really find this incident SUPER funny.... U would too if U knew my Dad
=)




Peace out Dad... Love u!
