Sunday night, we were all in the living room. Cailyn was crawling around, investigating as she always does. She pops her little head up over the side of the couch & I notice she's chewing something. I finger-sweep, the little motion that is ingrained in every mommy's mind as soon as the kid pops out of the womb.
Hm. Something black. And small. I don't recognize it, so I just throw it away. Quick scan of the floor. Nothing there.
Again, she pops back up, chewing on something.
Finger-sweep. Look under the couch. See nothing. Very weird.
Final time. She pops up, showing me that she has something tasty in her hands, and she's getting ready to eat it.
I quickly grab it & look close to inspect what she's found.
It's a millipede! A dead, flattened, nasty millipede. All those little legs! EEK!!!
Ordinarily, I don't mind 'em, but NOT in my child's mouth.
Gross, gross, gross!

Ewwwwwwwww...can't say that I haven't been there though. Doesn't it gross you out when they eat the bugs? YUCK!
I have the finger-sweep down too. Yuck! Never found a milipede in there before though.
