You know you live in Brazil when...

I was standing in line at the grocery store when I felt a tickle on my ankle. As I looked down, expecting to see an ant or mosquito, I saw an ugly brown cockroach staring up at me. Ugh! As I quickly brushed him off and did my own little freaked out bug dance the other folks in line just stared at me. I quickly panicked worried that he had been brushed off into the baby stroller, but they assured me that he had ran away on the floor. I was still squirmy and agitated at this point and it was obvious my fellow supermarket companions couldn't understand why. I just have this thing about cockroaches...especially when they are coming into contact with my skin. Overreaction? I don't think so.
