Ewwwwwwwww!!!

Bear Lake Raspberry Jam

Delicious right?

My sister-in-law brought us back this jam from Bear Lake

We've been loving it

Jars about half gone

The other night I made myself some toast

And spread raspberry jam all over it

Out of the corner of my eye I notice a "dark patch"

I thought it must have been a big chunk of raspberry

I sat down and lifted the toast to my mouth

Took a bite

Then as I pulled the toast away from my mouth

I saw.....

ANTENNAS!!!!!!!

Which were attached to the "dark patch"

Not a glob of berry---an earwig.

Mr. Earwig perished in a sea of raspberry jam.

Surprisingly, I didn't scream, gag, dry-heave, or cry

My eyes were the size of golf ball though

I pretty calmly showed Andrew my find

He laughed

I was in too much shock and disgust to laugh

I got up

Threw away the toast

Threw away the jar of jam

Thought about throwing away my knife that I spread the jam with

But instead just put it in the dishwasher

Then I had to shake it off

Try and get that image out of my mind

But.....it's still haunting me

Every time I close my eyes

Remember the first time you saw Jaws

How long it took to go back in the water........

Well, it might take me a while to eat raspberry jam again.
