Actually, I do still live with my mother 4 months out of the year, when I'm not in college. She fell in love with the cockroach pretty quick, though she won't admit it. It's my stepdad who is afraid of them and doesn't want me to have it. Last night Requiem fell from the desk to the ground. Instead of running away she ran to me and curled up in my hand for protection. I don't care what species it is, when a baby runs to you and clings to you for protection you can't look away. I wish my roommate were there to see that, she would have a better understanding of Requiem.
