Eyebright's Bloodsucking Insect

I will not be posting A Young Maidens Daybook for several weeks. We are in the process of moving, and I don’t want to be tied down by having to post Mondays. I will hopefully get back to it soon.
Packing boxes is actually rather boring. Stacking boxes is boring. Moving boxes gets quite monotonous.
So, one day, after being extremely silly with Bluejane, and perusing my "new" pocket dictionary, I discovered the word Flea. The minute description said, "bloodsucking insect".
For some reason, that just set the two of us off into gales of giggles. We found it uproariously funny. So, in a fit of ridiculous humor, I scribbled, Eyebright’s Bloodsucking Insect, on a HUGE box.
I figured it would provide some amusement to packers, stackers, and movers.
Later on, I realized that I didn’t have the foggiest idea what was in that box. It was my stuff, I know that, but what of my stuff…
I do have the satisfaction of knowing that it did bring smiles to my family. Mommy and Daddy were slightly disgusted with me, but the boys and Bluejane thought it was hilarious. As we moved the box into the shed, it was announced to all the world, "Here comes, Eyebright’s Bloodsucking Insect!"
Bluejane and I still tried to make our descriptions on the boxes interesting, but from then on, we made sure that we (hopefully) labeled the box so that it was known what was inside it.
