Cockroach and toilet story

We have a bug problem in our bathrooms, to be more specific a cockroach problem! This night there was one in the toilet bowl, and with the water shortages we didn’t have much water to just waste it on flushing it down, so instead we tried to kill it with bleach. That didn’t work so we went searching for something flammable…

we came up with a lighter gas and 3 matches.

Try 1 – There was just a small small woosh of flames in the bowl and we just laughed. Roach still alive. Think it ducked underwater or something.

Try 2 – Another small woosh but its still alive, and now we are getting desperate...

Try 3 – loads of gas and the match: there were huge flames that leap out of the bowl and then the vacuum created by the lack of oxygen caused the water to rush up to fill the space - there was a pop and the water spurted up like a fountain and splashed all over the floor. Cockroach included. But it was still alive!

Luckily there was a boy around to witness this last try and he squished the roach for us. We were screaming with laughter it was so funny. Never before have I ever done something like that but it was great.

It was myself, and my 2 house mates: Cassandra and Jessie!

Who says being a girl missionary aint fun???
