I Caught A Fly!

I'm notoriously bad at catching or swatting flies, but I managed to kill one today. It's the middle of winter, so it really bothered me when I found a rather large housefly in my kitchen. One of the things I've always enjoyed about cold weather is that you don't have to worry much about bugs because they're all dormant, and finding a fat black fly in my house was troubling.

Fortunately for me, the fly happened to wander downstairs to the laundry room, where I was putting diapers in the machine to wash. I cleverly left the washer open, and when the fly wandered in to sniff the gloriously dirty diapers,

SLAM!

Did I mention I wash diapers in HOT water? :) Bye bye, fly! Serves you right for being out and about in the middle of winter.
