Outside in my very dark backyard and I am sitting there and I see this fluttering thing run across my patio in front of me! I thought it was a moth flapping it's wings.

We have a motion light and it was big enough to turn it on. I see this very large bug only I think I see claws! I'm thinking no way what is this? Is it a scorpion? If it is a scorpion it will have a stinger on it's tail! So I stare at it and OMG it has a stinger!

I stand up and it turns in my direction so I stand still and so does the scorpion! I take a step it takes a step towards me! I'm thinking I got to get in the house but everytime I move it moves towards me!
So I start running to the door and not looking back and fly inside and start yelling for my DH! I tell him that there is a scorpion outside in the backyard on the patio and he says what?
A scorpion? Yes and please go kill it!

Then he surprizes me by saying why can't you kill it?
Are you kidding me? I say
He then said, Why do I have to kill it?
This is my big tough husband!
I said Because your the husband and it's your job to kill it.
So we go downstairs and I lookout the blinds and there it is and he says to me.
Are you sure it was a scorpion?
Yes I'm sure it's right there!!!!! And it chased me!
He looks and then yelling OMG that is the biggest scorpion I have ever seen!
So he went out and picked up this tiny shovel and had to walk far around it until he was behind it because it would start chasing him to!
Bam no more scorpion thank goodness!
I guess there a things out there that my tough hubby doesn't like to get near and I don't blame him at all!!
My husband is a retired police officer and was on the swat team for 16 years so he has seen and been in some unbelieveable situations. Only now I know what his weakness is Scorpions. Face a man with a gun no problem!
Scorpions rather not!
I chuckle now when I think of him trying to kill it! Of course I was inside watching the whole time!!!
