Roach Prayer
Dear God, please smite the roach under my daughter’s bed. Please forgive me for lying to her about it, telling her daddy had smashed it when it is still very much alive. Please do not let its feelers peek over the covers in the middle of the night. Above all, do not let its nasty feet run across my baby’s skin, thus traumatizing her for life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

My deep-seated hatred of roaches is from (so I’m told) a colony of roaches escaping their burning home (a hollow log) that my dad had placed on the fireplace. I was about 2. You are forgiven for the white lie. Amen, sister!
