Daily Dose of Chris

6 Comments / Kid Talk / By

OK this is for Lee, since she likes Chris stories so much.


My son came home from his girlfriend’s house. He walked in the front door. I yelled “hello” from the bedroom. He yelled “hello” back. He said “How’s it going?” I said “ok, how’s it going with you”. He said “I got stung by a scorpion.” I said “Huh? ummm have you been to the hospital?” He said “No, it’s fine.”


Ummm scorpions are bad. I know very little about them, having lived in areas where they weren’t really a problem. In fact I started to think “Does Florida even have them? Is my son delusional in the way that Michelle is in always thinking she’s been bit by a spider because the 1/2 child is constantly telling spider bite stories?”


So Chris is at the bedroom door and I am here on my laptop trying to remain calm as he tells me that it’s no big deal and his g/f has been stung a lot and I’m googling scorpions in Florida. Resisting the urge to call the hospital immediately and act like the freak out mom I’m NOT.


Thank goodness. He’s right. There are scorpions and Florida but it’s not that big of a deal. Except that they are as ugly as can be and I think he should avoid them and areas where they live in the future. Because the idea of one crawling on me is making me ill and Elvis Rat is beginning to look good compared to these things.


Sheesh.

    I was attacked by a spider this morning…maybe he and I are psychically connected? maybe a big scorpion should be his next tattoo?

    My 1st EX used to come in from the “woods” hunting and I remember collecting his jeans out of the dirty clothes closet to do the wash. Out scurries a scorpion out of the pile of clothes I’m going through……..EEEEEEK.

    We don’t have scorpions around here unless you buy them at a pet store. Won’t even ask why anyone would want to buy one at a pet store.
