Traps

  My apartment complex has a problem with crickets. Some of these crickets have made it into my house. I’ve tried many different methods to get rid of them including putting out some insect traps. These traps use glue to capture creeping critters. I was quite happy with my traps until I made a 2:00 a.m. bathroom trip.

Guess what I learned? Sticky traps also work for people.

It took a while to get my foot free from the trap. It was one painful foot exfoliation!

It did get me thinking though. My insect traps were a good thing, but they became a bad thing when I stepped on them.

 I think there are probably a lot of things like that in life. Something can be good in some situations and at some levels but harmful when taken to extremes. Let’s take cake as an example. I can eat one slice of cake at a birthday party without a problem, but the entire cake would make me sick. 

I also realized that I couldn’t remember at 2:00 a.m. where I put the traps so I removed them from the bathroom. How are you avoiding traps in your life?
