One Last Post Tonight, and Then I'll Leave You All Alone
Something that makes me laugh outloud, like a mentally-unstable person, even a year or so after it happened:
A Little foreword:
We live in a 3 story townhome, which has strange acoustics (it's hard to tell where a certain sound is coming from in the house); with 4 cats, who occasionally get a case of the "crazies" at bedtime.
So, this one night, Kevin and I were in bed, reading before going to sleep. None of the cats had come to bed yet. We heard someone scratching on the furniture downstairs, or doing something equally unacceptable that we couldn't quite place. I start doing my "ATT! ATT! ATT!"--vocal action which didn't stop the craziness, so Kevin pipes in, in a booming, authoritative voice: "Whoever you are...Wherever you are....Stop whatever it is that you're doing".
As soon as he said it, I cracked up, at the sheer ambiguity of what he'd just said. You probably had to be there to fully appreciate the humor, but it still cracks me up to this day and I wanted to share.
