a flying nasty

some associates and i do kids clubs during the week. it is rainy season. put that together and who knows what will happen.it rained during the day on monday and the evening we had our kids club, 40 some kids. we were starting to wind the class down and these big nasty bugs fly in. i don't know what they are. flying termites? flying ants? a dragonfly's ugly sister? i just know they are big, zzzzz-ing, lose their wings fast, and crunchy when you step on them. they came in as if we were the only lights on in the whole city. the kids started screaming because they fly but then walk on the ground and are on their flip flops and some are flying around their heads. and so it begins- with the screaming and swatting at them with their flip flops. one kid even caught one and said, "you see auntie sherri?" ugh, no i don't need to see, thanks. but then they think it is funny this mad house of swatting and so they start swatting each other with their sandals (sigh). my associates and i were like, how do we continue??? and there was no way. we tried yelling and then tried being calm but the screaming and running around was out of control. at one point i turned around and laughed because it was so cra---zy. then some kids ran to shut off the lights, which was a nice idea to stop the bugs, but then kids started screaming because of the dark and the bugs were dive bombing us. it was gross. so we hurriedly pushed the kids out the door and ran.that prepared us for what happened wednesday night. wednesday it also rained during the day. and the evening we had our kids club and i saw one nasty fly in. i hurriedly started shutting the windows. nono and lynnea shut the doors and other windows. i was pretty stoked we got to it before we were ambushed again. so as we are singing, i notice more bugs coming in! they were flying in under the door! if that is not the meanest flying nasty i don't know what is! so we quickly looked at each other and pretty much said, "let's get out of here!" so we prayed, gave the kids some toffee, and sent them home. phewwwww!
