Bug Season, Band Class & The Michael's Massacre.
Seasons changing,
and apparently so is my role in this household.
Because my own mother has decided I'm personally responsible for an insect infestation.
Lucas had his first real band class this week and I don't think he's stopped talking about it since.
Lucy has entered a phase and I need you to know if other dads out there are living this exact same nightmare with me.
And we were supposed to carve pumpkins this weekend.
We did not carve pumpkins this weekend.
Instead, we'll end up somewhere much more dangerous.
Let's get into it, shall we? All right, so the seasons are changing, right? Which around here means one thing, bugs.
Reason why I say that where we live is in the woods.
All of a sudden, everywhere, like, they all got the same group text that said, it's time to come inside.
So we're dealing with this at this house.
A few of these little guys show up on, you know, windowsills, by the door, the usual fall situation.
So we have a group text, you know, myself, my mother, and my wife, Katie, decided to share a picture of an insect and ask a quick question.
And my mom, who is very opinionated, takes one look at this and immediately, and guys, I mean immediately, points the finger directly at me.
She goes in the group text.
Raz, you work outside all day, right? You're bringing these bugs into the house on your clothes.
Like, what? Now, first of all, mom, I love you, but that is a very specific accusation to make with zero evidence.
Second of all, I don't even fully work outside all day.
Third of all, since when we did start doing insect forensics in this family.
But here's the thing, carpool crew, the more I thought about it, the more I had to sit with horrifying possibility that she might not be completely wrong.
And I hate giving her that when I do.
Because I do get in and out of the car a lot from work.
I'm outside more than the average guy sitting at a desk.
And there's a very real chance that at some point, Some tiny stowaway hitch arrived on my jacket and decided my house looked nicer than wherever he came from.
