Banadad versus Mothra

Some time in January:

banazir: Hey, dad, I'm looking for my Connectix QuickCam - you know, that little parallel port eyeball cam? Is it in your clos-- WOAH! What is that SMELL?!
BANADAD: Mothballs, Bana. We have a LOT of moths this year. I'm not gonna let them ruin all the clothes!
banazir: Yeah, but what are you trying to do, knock them out of the air? Sheesh, isn't naphthalene kind of toxic?
BANADAD: Mm, no, not at this rate of sublimation. Trust me, I'm a chemist.
banazir: OK, but what about carcinogenicity?
BANADAD: Eh, don't worry about it.

Three months later, around 0100...

BANAMUM: Hey, Bana, why don't you change out of your clothes? I'm going to do a load of laundry.
banazir: 'k.
BANAMUM, to BANADAD: Get Bana a couple of t-shirts, will you?
BANADAD, coming back after several minutes: Yeah, these are all I could find.
BANAMUM: Fine, here, Ba-- WOAH! What the heck is that CHEMICAL STENCH?!
banazir: Oh, it's just naphthalene. Totally harmless, says dad.
BANAMUM: What the hell are you talking about? This stuff smells like poison! K------, what are you doing putting these pellets in normal everyday clothes?
BANADAD: Well, it'll air out.
banazir: Night, Ma. Night, Dad.
Exit BANAMUM and BANADAD.

ETA, coda - the next morning:

Enter BANAMUM.
BANAMUM: It's after 10 o'clock! Since when do you sleep until 10! Hey, K------? Bring him that box!
Enter BANADAD with 14-ounce box of EnozTM Brand Old-Fashioned Mothballs.
banazir, reading: "Apply product in clean, airtight containers.... May be fatal if inhaled. Do not breathe vapors... If inhaled, move person to fresh air; call 911 if not breathing, poison control, yadda yadda yadda... 99.95% pure naphthalene..." gee, thanks Dad.
BANAMUM, to BANADAD: Didn't you say this crap was an additive in soy sauce?!
BANADAD: Ummm? That might have been napha salt. Sorry.
banazir: Aaargh! Gah!

I worry for you. As I worry for myself living with two old deaf half-senile people.

Half-deaf, possibly
... at least Banadad. The scary thing is that the Banafolks aren't senile in the least! (I know, you meant the gran'folks, but just don't eat any strange white pellets that smell like poison and you'll be fine. ;-))

Oh, did I tell you I successfully convinced Banamum that I tried one?

BANAMUM: Ugh, these things smell like chemicals.
BANAZIR: Oh, it's not so bad. I had a couple.
BANAMUM: Had... a couple... you mean you ate one?!
BANAZIR: Yeah. You can hardly taste--
BANAMUM: Are you KIDDING me?!
BANAZIR: LOL! Noooo, I really ate two mothballs and lived to tell about it... ROFL...

Yeah, like, I'm going to the Special Hell.

They were teensy! Tasted awful (I mean, really), but they don't digest, they just pass right through, c'mon.

Re: Pupppyyyy!
I used to be scared of them too. And even now, if there's a huge massive dog (someone on the other street over had this HUGE dog named Worf. LOL), and if it looks in the least bit like it might attack or bite me or whatever, or even nip at my hand I freak out. But I've come a long way. Used to be I couldn't have dogs running at me or I freaked.

Choosing the time and place
I don't mind donating some clothes, but I don't like the powder that moths leave. Also, I'm more concerned about having my prize trees killed by gypsy moths. The normal species aren't sae bad.

Ewwww!
I hate the smell of mothballs so much, I donate the occasional jumper and blanket to them. It sure helps clean out the wardrobe....I had 3 skirts once with very interesting holes .

Puddle jumpers
Now I have this image of Sir Walter Raleigh piloting a shuttle into a Stargate in the Pegasus Galaxy...

Gandalf and Gwaihir thank you for feeding the mothses!

Actually, they are. I'm quite fortunate. :-)
