Things you don’t want your bare feet to step on at 2am:
A Lego
Soggy dog chewy
Single piece of cat food
The carpet tacK that pokes through where the carpet in the hall meets the tile of the kitchen
A barfed up hairball
Half a mouse.
A fer-de-lance.
A scorpion.
A cow pie.
A scorpion or a slug that came in under the kitchen door.
Trust me, I know.
Slug
Cat barf
Cat missed litterbox
Birdie bomb
I speak from personal experience on all of the above.
Feral pigs
Sounds like an interesting story.
Snail or slug
Oh, and let me add puppy mishaps to the list.
I’ll nominate the power converter (wall wart), especially when it falls with the prongs pointing up.
The cat’s tail.
A puddle of pee.
Something that the cat flung out of the aquarium, and is still flopping.
I kinda don’t want my bare feet stepping on any of those things at 2pm either, nor at any other time for that matter.
One hardly dares walk around in one’s bare feet anymore.
Or a fleur de lis.
UK three pin plugs have a distinct tendency to fall prong-side up.
An open box of screwdriver bits.
These things. (Sweetgum tree seed pods.)
The floor.
Why am I awake at 2 AM?
The aftermath of people missing the toilet in the bathroom.
Goathead- Those really sharp stickery things
Goat Head- Severed head of a goat
