A Story

07/07/2011 By Christie

Husband and I are sleeping in bed dreaming pleasant dreams.  It’s approximately 3:00 am. 

Suddenly, something jumps or falls on top of me.  I squeal.  I start flapping my hands, because doggy paddle flapping will totally help in these kind of circumstances.  I continue squealing and flapping until hubby wakes up, because now this “thing” has flopped over on him. 

“AH!  AH!” he yells.  He throws this unknown “thing” down on the ground, hard, to show it who’s boss (insert booyah! here if desired) and maybe even kicks/stomps on it a few times.  He’s breathing heavily.  My heart feels like it’s about to pound outta my chest. 

He gets back in bed and we lay there in silence, staring at the ceiling, listening to our quick breaths.

I finally giggle, because I realize what it was.  Hubby asks me with complete bewilderment, “What was that?!”

I answer, “Um, remember that branch I bought at Tai Pan?  Yah….sorry about that.” …but dude, if that had been anything real, you woulda totally saved the day.

    ROFL! You’re too funny. I would have done the same, perhaps some girly shrieks as well, naturally waking up the baby. Except my husband wouldn’t have woken up. And then I would have beat him with the branch for failing to protect me from it. Because it’s the principal of the matter. ;)
    Thanks for putting my button on your sidebar, I saw it out of the corner of my eye and it was a total daymaker right there! :)
