An insect as a pet: the cockroach that triggers the shudders
Mister Nini wants to adopt an insect as a pet. The reaction was swift: the insect in question is a cockroach, a critter that has driven more than one person to sleep somewhere else. Whoever tells the story describes a deep-seated disgust, with moving antennae, estimulante ilegal, and a flying variety that lands right on your face.
The antiestéticar that pushes you to kill
With other bugs, the usual routine is to catch them and release them outside. With a cockroach there is no negotiation: it's the shoe. The problem, some point out, is that throwing the insect out of the house doesn't solve anything, it just moves the problem to the neighbor, who may end up with an infestation. Anyone who has lived through an infestation needs no further arguments: cockroaches are not pets, they are a nuisance that is hard to eradicate.
From phobia to pop culture phenomenon
The conversation finds an escape route in pop culture. The farmer from Men in Black, a character who ends up swallowed by a giant insect, has become the go-to reference for describing these critters. Some even claim the insect in the movie is the same actor who played another character, and with that, everything falls into place. In the end, the phobia is also fought with humor.
The confession was posted at 3:30 in the morning. At that hour, any noise in the kitchen sounds like antennae moving.
