Evan the Cockroach Killer

Wednesday, 22 August 2012

Living in a tropical climate means that there are bugs and when I say bugs I actually mean cockroaches. Yuck! I haven’t seen one in my room but there is one in the kitchen. Luckily it is just one, but it is a BIG one. I am so freaked out by how fast they move and how long their antennas are. They wave these long antenna back and forth and it is so gross. You can see the length of these antennas in my photo. This is a Macau dollar which is the size of a loonie and this dead guy is clearly bigger than a dollar coin. You can’t even see his legs because they are all folded in.

One morning I was standing at the sink washing my dishes when I looked down on the floor and I saw this antenna sticking out from under the cupboards. I couldn’t see the cockroach but I knew he was under the cupboard. I stomped my feet and yelled at it and it disappeared back under the cupboard. Gross.

Anyways, Evan is my hero because he killed the cockroach for me. I can’t kill them because I don’t want to go any where near them. The cockroaches give me the creeps. Evan doesn’t like them either but he has no problem chasing them around the kitchen whacking them with his shoe. These critters move fast too. Luckily for me, Evan is faster. He is deadly with his shoe and he has already killed 3 of these critters. I have named Evan “The Cockroach Killer”. Someday I hope to be just like Evan but until that day arrives, I just scream and run out of the kitchen when I see one of these cockroaches.
