At least you didn't drop a napkin on it and run away.

In ward choir practice on Sunday, I was sitting there, listening to the tenor’s working on their part when suddenly a hymnal appeared over my head. So I look up trying to figure out what the bass’ behind me are doing and I realize there is a spider slowly lowering itself from the ceiling, directly above me. So I yell and jump to the seat next to mine (which was recently vacated) and I’m watching the spider in horror. The girl on my other side then notices something is going on and asks me what’s happening. When I tell her she runs (really runs) away, accidentally dialing her mom on her cell phone, and with the entire choir watching they proceed to smash the spider in the hymnal and cheer. I can’t stop thinking about the poor person who’s going to open that hymnal some day and find a smashed spider on the pages. Anyway, I thanked the guys for taking care of that and while joking with one of them said, “At least you didn’t drop a napkin on it and run away. Cuz that’s happened before.” He thought it was pretty funny.

To Mom: Sorry I was cranky on the phone last night.  I was in a bad mood and wanted to whine about something.  I hung up and thought “It’s really not a big deal.  Crap.”

  1. Cranky, was that cranky. I can show you cranky. No, you were fine. I was sitting at a funeral all by myself when the man behind me taps me on the shoulder and says that he is going to brush a spider off of my back that has appeared from somewhere. He quickly took care of it and I couldn't stop shuddering!! Spider stories, I think that everyone has one!
