Just imagine this...

You are in the kitchen, tending your pot of spaghetti sauce, when you hear your husband come in the door. Now that's a nice surprise, but then he says to the kids, who you have been hearing (but not actively listening to) messing around playing together just outside and inside the living room door, "What are you doing!!!" and you turn around to find about 30 slaters crawling in every direction across the tatami mats, while your two intrepid daughters chase them and try to catch them.

Of course I said "AAAAggghhh!!!!!!!!" and went to help Kanji, who tried to pick one up then chickened out. I got the broom and gathered them while Amy and Lena worked on collecting them. When I told her to change the soil in the slater nest today, this is not what I had in mind!
