Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for October 07, 2014

Oh, how Holly wishes she were an only child or to have a more civilized younger sister.

Siblings are people you are related to by “an accident of Birth” – THEIRS!

“More civilized” = “boring”Especially at that age.

Oh no Alix has some scary taste in pets! xD

Alix knows how to create privacy.

No reservations or appointments required. Just make sure the lid is on tight when you put it back.

NO COCKROACHES!! NO WAY, NO HOW!!

This would never, ever happen in my house. Sorry.

Hissing cockroaches are HUGE – about the size of your hand – and they are fairly popular as pets in some parts of the world. It’s one of the few wild creatures in Oz that won’t kill you within three steps. (Or four.)

If anyone I lived with got a cockroach, I would MOVE OUT. Or trace my entire rooms interior with cockroach repellent.

congrats @Gaijinrabbit on yesterday’s post. You hit the millipede on the toe nail.And maybe if Alix called the cockroach a Palmetto bug Holly wouldn’t know it is also called Florida woods cockroach.

Wanted: New sister. Strong stomach required.

I bet Alix used to watch Fear Factor…

Alix’ next pet could be an Ishy, and she would keep it in her kiddy pool or the bathtub.

I’m afraid not.

Be careful with Tarantulas. Some have toxic “fur” that will cause a nasty rash. I understand most are harmless to humans, though.

Daughters?
