ohmylanta - I remember one groggy late night as a teen @ my moms I’m taking a bio-break and watch this “fish” move across the carpet. I rub my eyes, and sure enough it’s still there!

Ok, so I debate telling my Mom what i saw because I really thought she would think I had been drinking or was stoned or I was crazy. i told her, described the “looked like a little silver fish on it’s side moving across the carpet”. Sure enough, Mom had the bug-guys out the next day (boy was I relieved to know there really was such a thing as silverfish!).
