Ben by Daniel Shelton for August 10, 2024

Yuck. Go wash your foot before getting back in bed!

One time we had one inside a wall plug. Not sure how it got in there.

What is she…5??? Why doesn’t she take care of it? Sheesh!

Yeah, she can just turn on the light to find the cricket. Oops, now you’re both awake. OK, Ben, “take care of it”, please!

great… now go wash your foot, cause gross. :p

Had some bug behind a cabinet chirping driving me nuts. Couldn’t move the cabinet so I sprayed a can of bug spray in back. Killed the darned thing.

Well, that’s just not cricket!

More of crunch, no? I’ve never found the blasted cricket in such an open space. tint: Keep a heavy book handy to drop on the ‘problem’. (Not your foot)

But was it a Common Field Cricket, or a Snowy Tree Cricket?

(“Hey, Toby!”) ☺

She should be use to it with all his creaking joints.

Random musings:

Ben, the hero!

Nothing wrong with her waking him to solve this problem. Everyone knows that opening jars and killing bugs are two of the things husbands do best.

Jiminy!

The question is, do they want independence or not?

Simple, effective solution!

Well now go wash your foot. Yuck.

lately, I’ve been playing ambient noise sounds of Katydids & Crickets to GET to sleep.
