Bob and the scorpion


Bob came out of the backyard jungle holding this in his fingers like this and yelling ....

"look It's a scorpion!"

I yelled "What? a SCORPION? In our yard?"

From across the pool, it did look like a scorpion..


But Bob loves me so much, one  day he put on a cologne  that smells like a computer.-
Seems that is the only way to get my attention these days... that and a fake scorpion



* IT is  Something dead from our jungle, who knows what it is, but he scared me silly and it really does look like one,

Doesn't it. TexWisGirl, doesn't it?

  3. Your Bob is quite a joker! Hope you've recovered from the scare as I don't think you need the exercise of jumping in fright and running around the pool right now! Sending love and calming thoughts, Sandra.

  21. I'm thinking that you and Bob have got to be more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. I can see how that would look like a scorpion from far away.
    Wade would need a cologne that smells like hot glue....lol

  22. That sounds like something my son would do. I bet it did look like a scorpion from across the pool. How funny about the cologne scented like a computer. lol Hugs and hope you are getting better and better.

  23. Oh my gosh! I'd have had a heart attack!! I want nothing to do with Scorpions!! LOL

  24. Bob is such a card. Maybe from across the pool but otherwise it could be stretching it a bit. Scorpions are sneaky, they like to hide in dark places, under rocks and in shoes. Fortunately I've only run across small ones.

  25. I'm beginning to think that Bob likes to live dangerously.

    Hope you're feeling better!
