New Pet

In the process of trying to get a new pet.

No, not the raven. We're not home enough for a raven.

A Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.

It's probably best not to ask.

And yeah, I'm asking.

Just... keep it. Like a tarantula. Except the cockroach can eat old cat food.

We encountered one at the science museum last night, and it was a nice critter. Crawled around on our hands, felt us up with its antennae, chewed a bit on my little fingernail.

Now, the trouble would be getting someone to roach-sit when we go on vacation...

Who needs a roach-sitter? That one seems like the kind of pet that wouldn't died unless you tried to kill it.
