hornet!

[rm]

Yesterday I come home from work and Patty says, "I got chased out of the bedroom by a hornet this morning, but now I think it is gone."

Okay.

I forget about it.

We go to sleep.

We wake up a couple of hours later, and then I hear it. Buzzzzz.

I've forgotten about the hornet.

Patty says, "It sounds like a cell phone."

I put my head back down on the pillow, it's really loud.

I sit up.

"No. Turn on the light."

The buzz changes pitch.

We discover a hornet right by our heads on the wall.

We evacuate and sleep on the couch/floor in the living room.

So I ask you:

- How long do hornets live?
- How do we get the hornet out of our bedroom?

I was totally about to mention that. We've used pledge in the past, or anything sprayable, really. As far as I know, insects can't fly when their wings are wet.

*nods* I think this is why cleaning products work. Even if it doesn't kill the insect, it immobilizes him so you can get close enough with a blunk object.
