I'll take a roach over a tarantula any day. Sure, these are fake bugs we're talking about, but I just want to put that energy out in the universe. When I see a roach in my apartment, I don't get mad. I feel blessed that it's not a tarantula. It's a very zen way of looking at the world. But also, universe, if you're listening, I don't want any bugs around me, feel me?
One time me and a friend put a fake cockroach in his bathroom. A couple of hours later we heard his dad screaming and trying to kill it. It went on for quite a while before we heard him say, "why aren't you dying?" Then he must have realized what happened because he started to laugh. He must have been OK with the prank because he waited until after I left to beat my friend.
