Crickets. We have crickets in our house. Does that mean we have good luck? I think sometimes it means that it takes me longer to get to sleep. Matthew says that the cricket sounds are soothing. I think that he has just gotten used to it.
At first, just walking toward the kitchen would scare the cricket and it would stop chirping. Then, you had to get into the kitchen first before it would be quiet. Then, talk. And now, if you go jump up and down, clap, and yell, it still chirps. Could it possibly be the same one? They only live two to three months.... Matthew thinks that we have been breeding crickets that are less sensitive to human sounds.

So, why would I write about a cricket? It is part of my life and I can not remove it. (It is in the drain pan of the refrigerator.) Therefore, I have to learn to live with it. And so I do. Is there really anything wrong with having a cricket chirping in your house?
No. The world is not ending. It does not affect my health or mental abilities. And according to some traditions, we have a little more luck in our day.
Till tomorrow,
Amelia
I didn't mean soothing, really. Just trying to make the best of an irritant. Sunny side and all that. :)
ReplyDeletePest guy told me that having lots of crickets is just an invitation to the next level of pests - scorpions, which feed on the crickets. We will have to get a pest guy out to our place as it starts to warm up.
