A Torrance California woman and her daughter have new neighbors by the thousands, bedbugs. They are everywhere.

They asked the landlord for help with extermination, and he said basically, that’s your problem.

They had to come from somewhere, so that narrows down to the daughter or the mother. They must both be saying, “Hey, it wasn’t me.”

Has there been a sleep over? Has anyone stayed at the Days Inn lately? OMG.

I am just making the most of this probable story and adding embellishments, like Fox News.

This is an LA Times story, however.

Now, I bet the bugs are at the mall. Panic.
