The BIGGEST Scorpion

I just saw the nastiest and biggest scorpion in our garage. I was trying to clean up a little bit in there and there he was, under a piece of paper that I had taken from the car seat I bought Emily a couple months ago. And that was underneath our suitcases (which is why I hadn't picked up that particular piece of trash earlier, I just didn't see it). And then something moved. I thought, "a lizard?", and then I saw the tail. AAAAHHHHHHHHhhhh!!! Yes, I screamed. It was the biggest scorpion I've ever seen in my life. It was as long as my hand (granted I have small hands, but that is still pretty long). I didn't have anything to kill it with so I ran inside. I got up the courage to go kill it (with a shoe is what my Mom told me) and I went to go look and stared it down. I was gazing at it and noticed I couldn't see a head. No head, it's not moving, it must be dead. So, I decided something else killed it. Another scorpion. Worse yet, a female scorpion who is known for killing their mate. Great, I had a mother scorpion who was going to have babies in my garage. Nathan finally came home from basketball (I had already called him to tell him that there was a female scorpion somewhere in our garage.) and he hunted around the garage for the scorpion. I showed him where the dead scorpion was and left (I had to make sure that there were no scorpions around my children. Which is quite a feat when everything that moves is a scorpion because I'm pretty freaked out about it. Well, Nathan comes in and says, "I killed it". "You found it?" I asked. "The dead one wasn't dead," he said. "Oh. Well, that's the best news I've heard all day." (Especially since we decided to cancel our zoo trip for today because it is way too HOT! So we've set next week for the zoo date. Now I can't go in the garage without shoes (and I don't like wearing shoes, especially when it's hot, and I do my laundry in the garage).
