    I got an LED installed in my uvula so I can sit outside with my mouth open and moths can find their way in. They bring things that they would put in their mouth if they had one. By the end of a good evening my mouth can get pretty full. Sometimes when I spit out all the tree bark, tiny rocks, and dead moths I wonder if maybe it’s a good thing they don’t have mouths since they don’t seem to know what is good to eat. I still share my mouth with them though, they’d know better if they had their own mouths, but they don’t so my charity is the only way they could try out using a mouth.

    My granny used to snatch them things out the air with her hands and shove them in her mouth. Said they tasted good. But she stopped after one time she accidentally caught a palmetto bug instead and bit down before she realized what was happening.

      My second night in Florida saw me flailing away at one in the dark bathroom. Thought it was a bat. No lie.
