Cockroaches in your Underwear Drawer

 Much ado about nothing? Well, I was going through my, umm, well underwear drawer the otherday looking for something I may have hidden there and found something hidden all right, but it wasn't the right thing! As I surfed around through small mountains of pastel-colored cotton briefs I thought I spied a large copper penny. I didn't have my glasses on. "MONEY!" I shouted triumphantly as this is something very hard to come by in a house full of five kids. I went to dig it out and it disappeared. "WHERE DID IT GO! OH NO!" I wildly flung panties all around the room fishing madly for the travelling coin. I put my glasses on, (which I found in my search), and inspected the "penny" and shrieked hysterically as I saw a large, over-weight, copper-colored cockroach scuttle out of sight. I screamed, "MY UNDIES ARE CONTAMINATED!" and wondered if this meant having to wash ALL of them. Of course I did. I washed all of the underwear in the entire house, in fact, retrieved from various drawers, (the dresser kind). As I sat down to write tonight I heard my kids all yell, "COCKROACH ATTACK!" Well, the cats had it for dessert. So if you are searching in an underwear drawer and are nearsighted like I am, I strongly advice wearing glasses...or goggles if you are particularly squeamish!
