Women and Children First

The rest of the household is definitely back. While I was shaving this morning the girls burst in to reveal that a cockroach had been trapped under a glass cup for Daddy to deal with.

(Whether this resolution would survive contact with the face -- or perhaps more relevantly the antennae -- of the enemy remains to be seen.)
