Bugblatter

We had this bug in the kitchen last week - a HUGE bug. I'm sure it was some kind of beetle, but what it really looked like was a giant cockroach. It had to be at least 1.5 inches long.
Daughter and I were afraid to kill it - can you imagine the crunch under a paper towel and the ensuing slime?
So I called up my son, age 15. He took a look, grabbed a paper towel and just tossed it on top of the creature. Obviously, that wasn't going to do the trick. I told him that a good son kills bugs for his mother.
He replied, "Real women aren't afraid of bugs."
Damn kid. I told him, "Touché!"
