When my son was young, he asked, "Mommy, why do they call them earwigs?" (He was so scared of them.) I said I didn't know. He said, "I bet it's because a long time ago people didn't take baths much, and they wore those big wigs, and I bet those bugs lived in their WIGS, then crawled into their EARS." Smart kid!! And SUCH a disgusting thought!
I HATE EARWIGS!!! We had a lot of rain a couple of years ago and those things were in my gutters and several fell down on me when I opened my front door. They bite! (I'm starting to itch now. I've got to stop reading this thread.)
