This huge totito* flew into boon's room one night after a heavy downpour. He told me the totito was as huge as your outstretched palm and I told him he's too old to tell tall tales. I asked him to snap a shot as 'proof' and when I saw it, I figure it can't be a totito because there are no such thing as giant totitoes because giant totitoes only exist if you're the size of thumbelina. Hmm, and I was right! It's a cranefly actually. I think it's a 'she' judging from the shape of the abdomen. Ok, so I read up some facts about it. Apparently craneflies are harmless and when she flew in, she was already missing a leg. boon ended her misery by giving her a dose of lethal spray, she passed out, boon picked her up with a newspaper and flushed her down the loo. I'm sure it was painless.

* mosquito (that's what my little niece calls it)
