Is This Girl Real

Either this girl deserves an Oscar, or there is reason to be concerned for society. I don’t even know what to think about it. One source says she ‘insane,’ in a figurative way. Another source says she making jokes. I think she’s serious as a heart attack. Those tears in the tiktok video look real to me. Then again, I cry at cartoons. Disney and the movie ‘UP!’ Total tear jerker.

Mind you, I am not hating on her. I have a ‘catch and release’ protocol available for most ‘intruders’ most the time. I even make a prayer to the bug gods, please respect the boundaries of this house. Spiders and crickets are most likely to get caught and release. Roaches die. Wasp building nests, they die.

I am not fond of insects. If someone else will take care of the roaches, I will gladly let someone else have that. Crickets, well, I don’t mind them. I don’t like when grass hoppers fly in my face as I walk through the yard. Usually they go away from me, but every now and then, I think one got confused and went at me like David towards Goliath.

I have never heard it’s bad luck to evict a cricket. They live outside. I am not evicting them, I am liberating them. Doesn’t that count as good luck? I mean, I know some folks that have pet snakes and lizards, and they get fed live crickets. Any crickets that go into those home, well, that’s…
