Of course, as I witness the nasty little being come in behind the two of them, I screamed…and screamed…and screamed! As Danny was trying to swat the thing, the unthinkable happened. I continued to scream…and scream…and scream. Wouldn’t you know it, the moth came darting at my forehead, and I simply watched it – screaming the whole time. As soon as my eyes were cross-eyed from staring at the thing, it smacked me on my forehead and kept on flying. My recollection of exact events from this point on is not so great. I believe I may have been convulsing. Either that, or the furry creature partially knocked me out. Regardless, I remember Danny stating he did in fact swat the moth and he believed it was dead.

Finally able to breathe, I calmed down and started reading. About an hour later, Rocky, my Chihuahua needed to go out. Danny took potty duty once again. This time though, he did not bring a moth into the house. Oh no, he didn’t need to. Somehow, the awful creature who caused my concussion the first time sprung back to life. Oh yes! He was alive and well. Again, he started circling my living room fast and furious. Again, I screamed! Only this time, I buried my head under a pillow and continued to scream. Slowly though, the screams were turning into tears. While under the pillow, I heard Danny run into the house. Clearly he saw the moth. I could hear him shuffling through the living room. All of a sudden, he yelled, “got it”! Sigh. I popped my head out from under the pillow. “Where is it…where is it?” I asked as Cooper was licking my face, worried about me. “I smacked it dead to the ground and then Cooper ate it,” Danny said. Fantastic…
