Bugs, tarantulas, or rats?
01-17-2021, 07:04 PM
The question has to come up when you watch Indiana Jones movies. Which of the three would you do?
Bugs are just plain gross and I’d feel a little self conscious asking my wife to kill them all for me so I can find the treasure.
Tarantulas are off the table even when I’m only watching them on tv.
Rats...I wouldn’t want to, but furry tiny dogs are basically louder rats. I could probably get through it and the take a crying game shower after.

Bugs

I could do tarantulas with a lot of writhing.
I might do the bugs if I could move through them really fast...like “cat boy speed”. ( grandson cartoon reference.)
Rats? As the Cowardly Lion says : “No way, no how.”
All those teeny tiny prickly, icky feet touching me. Mmhmm, nope.

When I was a little girl

We lived where there were tarantulas around a lot. We used to jump over them on the sidewalk. My brother used to catch them and kill them and put them in jars of alcohol. They don’t really scare me. Bugs don’t really bother me unless they’re cockroaches. (Just ewwww!) Rats are disgusting. I can’t deal with them.

A teacher in the classroom next to me also had a pet rat because the year before when she was at another school her second graders voted for the rat. The rat really was sweet and I'm still friends with the teacher.

I wouldn't mind any of them IF I knew they wouldn't bite me. If they were truly in the wild, I'd have to choose bugs.
Roaches are disgusting, but they don't bite so I could tolerate them.
