Is this the beginning....

of a plague?? I sure hope not. :-) But...for the last 2 days, it seems like the locust are trying to overtake us! Haha. No, but seriously, it's rather disturbing. My kids warned me they come out at the end of October, mid-November when rainy season is at its peak, but I've never seen anything like it. It's a combination of cool, gross, and just plain weird! They are everywhere. Most are tiny locusts, a little longer than your index finger, but some are as big as hotdogs! (I don't know why I just had hotdogs on my mind! Maybe its cause my dad just said he was going to eat at Lee's. Mmm!) The worst is when you are trying to use the bathroom in peace, and they are all over the wall and their little black, beady eyes are rolling around in their head and staring at you. Or when they're all over your classroom windows, so when you go to close the window when you leave, you accidentally smoosh one of them in the window, and locust guts fall in your room. It's just delightful. I'm only joking. I tried to get a picture of a giant one, but it was in the grass, and was camouflaged. When I get a good picture, I'll post it. But until then, let's just pray that Pharoah lets the people go! :-)
