when i was really small, we lived in a place where the mosquitoes were HUGE. there was a dead one trapped between my window and the window sill...always in the same spot (but at this time i suppose it hadnt occurred to me that life ends) anyways, my parents used that mosquito to put fear into my sister and i. it became the "eezil floss" and if we were bad girls, it would come into our beds at night and grow to humongous proportions and swallow us whole. ha ha.
