Heather- Crab Catcher Extraordinaire.
A very funny thing happened to me today that I think really would probably only happen in my life...
I am the only one in the house right now, my dad and brothers went on a camping trip. Ok, nothing weird yet right?
Well, being the only human in the house for a few days means that I have several responsibilities beyond just locking the door and getting the mail. I also have to feed the dog, feed the cat, and feed the fish.
Well, I always forget to feed the fish.
So as I was about to walk into the kitchen, I see something the size of a tarantula run across the kitchen floor. Startled, I jump back and then proceed to cautiously look around the corner. There in the middle of the floor was a brown mass about the size of my fist. Well... considering that I am the only one home, there is no one else to take care of this fist sized matter so of course I have to investigate.
I walk up to this little brown mass and look at it... what do you think it is?
The crab from the fish tank... he had escaped and was living the free life on our kitchen floor.
Fantastic.
A crab.
How am I supposed to catch a crab?
So I called my logical and fearless cousin Val. She reasonably suggested that I should get the fish net and try to catch him and considering that I was in the kitchen I could use big utensils to try to catch him without touching him.
Well. This is all well and good,
But have you ever tried to catch a crab?
So I sit there for maybe ten minutes, cautiously prodding this crab with a spatula and serving spoon until he runs out of the corner which I had cornered him into and I am able to scoop him into a bowl and return him to the place of his captivity.
Well... if it wasn't for that crab I would have forgotten to feed the fish.
