When The Stink Bugs Follow

This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. There so many things that stink. Trash stinks. But my nickname is raccoon so sometimes trash, well, that’s a good stink. Depends what is in the trash.

But the stink of all stinks is stink bugs. In case their name doesn’t give it away, they really stink. The strange thing is, we had them one time in our RV in that United States place, and they must have followed us all the way over here.

I want to know how in the world they were able to get to this Italy place. And why they brought all of their families with them. I’m not just talking about a mom and dad and sister and brother. I’m talking about all the relatives on their family tree traced all the way back to the stink bugs beginning on ancestorystinkbugs.com

Apparently they like colors like Girl Person does because the window to our bedroom was open and well, when she walked in to the orange grove room…it wasn’t filled with oranges. It was filled with stink.

Girl Person doesn’t panic often over bugs. And she wasn’t afraid of them. But she had no idea how to get them all out alive.

She wasn’t about to harm them. But she also didn’t want them in bed to crawl up where the sun don’t shine.

So for awhile she scooped them up. One by one. She would throw one out and one would come back in. Jim and Ed and Scarlett O’Hara didn’t care.

Finally, when the sun started to go down they retreated too. But tomorrow is another day, my friends. More stink bug battles await. And let me just say this. If you’re prone to stink bugs, you can move wherever you want. You can travel wherever you want. But the stink bugs in life will always follow you. It’s up to you to not let them suck the air out of a room.

Stink bugs are the least of this world’s problems. Individuals try to stink up someone else’s life when they are unhappy with theirs sometimes. If we don’t protect our own happiness, the stinky ones will surely take it away. Ones who complain and criticize. Ones with bad motives and bad intentions. Ones who hide their stink until you just can’t get away from it. Don’t let that happen to you.

You deserve to smell the perfection of true friends and true blessings and true love. Love is stronger than stink. And that’s what I knew will follow you.
