Attack of the Killer...

fuzz.
That's right, people. I was unloading the dishwasher and all of a sudden something was coming at me, swinging wildly under my arm, and then toward my waist. I tried to get away from it, and I might have screaled (something between a scream and a squeal) as I dodged the thing that was obviously threatening my life. I couldn't go far because the dishwasher was open there beside me. I began to feel trapped. I fought hard, though, and I was finally able to free myself from the tangly, leechy clutches of this monstrous creature.
I was sure it was a roach. You know about my relationship with the devil-bugs, don't you?
Imagine my relief when I saw that I was trying to escape the mad grip of a giant fuzzwad from my sweater!
And don't you think I felt silly, not one bit. The roaches are a force to be reckoned with. Even if it's in my head.

Ha! I have done that before! :)
Better to be safe than sorry! And sometimes those fuzz balls are pretty intense.
p.s. I LOVE ridiculous comments, as they make me feel not alone! And don't feel bad, there's very few cooking mistakes that I haven't made. Strangely, I love cooking, whereas my mom who is actually quite good at it hates cooking. It's like cats.
Did that analogy make sense?
To be fair, that IS a pretty scary looking fuzz. And you HAVE been more than a little bit traumatized by roaches.
In light of those facts, I think your response was entirely reasonable.
Oh, I've done that! In fact, just last night when I was reading to Nicholas, the shadow of my thumb on his sheets crossed right in front of me and of course I thought it was a roach trying to crawl into my lap. I screamed, flung covers, and leapt out of bed. A very relaxing evening for my already anxious 7 year old!
Hi there! I came across your blog through MC, and I had to comment on this because I've done that so many times. My fear is of spiders, and I always think that fuzz I see on the floor is a spider. I totally get your fear...
