Pest control.

This one's a bit random, but here you go.
So we've had our fair share of random little bugs creeping into the house. Flies, ants, whatever. But you want to keep the door open, so what can you do? Then, a couple nights ago, we had a mouse friend give Emily the stare-down and then bolt out the front door. He hasn't been seen since..
Yesterday I heard a whole new one. This story is now about fifth-hand, mind you, but I'll try telling it. Baboons. No, we haven't seen any yet, but a few people got to hear how to take care of them in the event that they make an appearance at your next backyard get-together. First, know that baboons tend to travel in small groups (small groups, Denise! ;)). So, the key is to rid yourself of the entire group. You do this by capturing one of the group members.. you'll need about 4 people to do this. Once you get him, you paint him some obnoxious color. Yes, paint the baboon. All of him. Then you release him to his friends. When they see him, they'll think "Oh man! I don't wanna be seen with that guy! That color looks awful on him!" So they'll run away from the painted baboon, because he'll keep trying to keep up with his friends.
For you, problem solved. The question that rose yesterday?... Where do all the lonely, painted baboons go? We hoped they all find each other and form a new, more colorful group. yay.
