Some of y’all are overly afraid of scorpions and I just want you to know that some of them can swim and dive under water.

    One time I woke up in the middle of the night to pee, and I swear I saw a scorpion in the bathroom. Freaked out like the 8 year old I was, woke my parents up. They turned on the light to the bathroom and the dog had pooped on the floor.

      My mom lived in Greece long before I was born. Her residence had an outdoor bathroom system. Apparently, when my mom was pregnant with my eldest sister, she once had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She got up to go out, reached for the doorknob, then had a burst of intuition. She got a light source to find her way out, only to find a giant scorpion standing right on the doorknob where her hand would have landed.
