Morning Earwigs

July 30, 2006 | Life | Nature & Environment

Earwigs are disgusting in many ways, but they're especially disgusting when, on a Sunday morning, up a bit earlier than you might prefer, and slightly hung-over, you find a pack of them nibbling away happily inside the wrapper of your virtually untouched Scharffen Berger chocolate bar. Besides the waste of fine chocolate, the shock and sudden reaction made my head hurt. Might be time for an early-morning nap.

You violated your unwritten agreement with the earwigs by opening your chocolate on Sunday morning. Usually they were outta there by the time you got around to chocolate. They were happy, you were happy. From now on you're gonna wonder.

Sometimes it's hard to know what agreements you're party to till you overstep the boundary.
