It was After Me

I was cleaning a while ago. I looked down and there was this huge bug on my shorts. It looked so strange. I tried to brush it off but it clung to me. I tried to punch it off but it hurt and the bug was still there. I felt so desperate. I grabbed an old rag and covered the bug with it. I closed my hand on it and ripped it off. It was gone, thank goodness. So was the button on my shorts pocket. It was a key pocket lower on the leg. A bruise is forming on my leg. Good work on my part. Have you done anything really stupid lately?

@akalinus I tried to understand what you want to say.Do you mean you ripped a button off your short because you mistook it for a bug ?

Yes, I did not say it very well. I am tired. I do stupid things when I am tired.

Wow, you must have been pretty stressed out to go as far as ripping off a button!

In my mind, I was ripping off an unknown bug. It refused to die.

I once stepped out onto our front porch was about to go down the first step when I noticed a snake on it. I turned and ran back inside leaving my sandals on the porch and two kitties running down the hallway because I frightened them coming in so fast Mike sat in the chair and laughed

@Dena91 It is pretty funny when you remember it but not when it is happening.

Some bugs are very annoying and can bite.

Yes, and they are all here biting me. I don't know what they are. I have been vacuuming and spraying bug poison in my room They are invisible and strike from nowhere.

We all do silly stuff. I think it is because we are distracted with more important issues and just react to something strange without planning first.

Can you pick one of your favorites and tell us about it?

I've had to look at things a few times to realize something isn't what I thought it was. I'm sorry you no longer have a button on your shorts pocket. Can you sew it back on, or did it cause a hole?
