As a child I lived briefly with my bio-mother. We lived in an old huge house. One evening my sister and I came into the house and there were muddy footprints through it. Immediately we were scared and on our guard, but, didn't think too much about it due to our mother working for Comanchee Peak while it was being built. (the nuclear power plant in Glen Rose Tx) She often came home with muddy feet.
The bathroom of this house was a very old bathroom. (I sware this house predated Eve) This House was so old, it didn't even have a bathroom until bathrooms became an Inside necessity. (It was like the house of Usher) Basicaly there was a shower with the actual floor of the house as a shower floor, a tolite and sink. We followed the muddy footsteps through the house and they trailed right into the bathroom. The shower curtian was pulled, but we could see big muddy boots sticking out from under the curtian. We were freaking out! (I only remember running like a cat with it's tail on fire)
To this very day I can't leave the house with the shower curtian pulled.(Im not as bad as I was in the past) Apon arriving to my home if the curtian is pulled I panic and go get Collin to open it. Collin has made this a huge game. When we lived in Arlington he used to love to go in the bathroom when I called him to open the curtian and get real close to it and jump back real fast and say,"OMG! there is someone in there!" He would then jump to the curtian, yell and open it really fast. Of course, I would nearly pee on myself and scream like I had been attacked.I became somewhat, accustomed to Collins shenanigans after a while.
Well,apon returning home one day, I had to go Wee Wee very bad. The shower curtian was closed and I yelled for Collin to open it for me. Mr. Smarty pants came in and pulled his regular "man behind the shower curtian" stunt. I was a little irritated, I was about to make the Nile a part of our bathroom.
I said,"Collin! Quit, it isn't funny just open it so I can go to the bathroom!" He said in a whisper, "I sware to God, Judi, there really is someone in there!" I said, "Whatever!" Just open it! I really have to go bad!" All of the sudden, Collin began to open it, he jumped and yelled, "OMG!" He began fighting with the intruder behind the Curtian and I started screaming at the top of my lungs! I could make out the height of the person and he and Collin were really struggling! I could hear all kinds of banging around! The invader had pulled Collin half into the tub! I began to cry and scream louder and run around almost in a circle. (Like the pac-man ghosts when they would get stuck in a corner) I was in full blown panic mode. He Comes out with a mop, as if it is eating his neck! I thought for sure he was using it as a weapon! I was convinced that my worst fear had became a reality! All of the sudden Collin runs to me and grabs me and hugs me and says over and over, "Its okay!" Judi, Judi, It's okay, I'm alright, I'm right here!" (Kinda like when the hero saves the day and comforts the dame in a horror movie)
SO, I calm down and start thinking, "I didn't see him pull anyone out and beat them to death!" Collin then begins to laugh and walks over to the shower curtian and pulls it back.
I walked over to the tub and looked down. There was the most beaten up mop I had ever seen in my life! Collin had mopped the bathroom floor the evening before. When we arrived home that day he (as all heroic men do) proceeded to open the curtian for me, he noticed that he had left the mop in the tub behind the curtian. He actually jumped when he saw it there in the tub standing upright and decided to scare me to death.
Needless to say he never did that again. I think my next words to him were, "If I were you I would run!" I have never been so mad at him in my life. Well, that is if you don't count the fake spider on my shoulder incident! But, that is another story!
Geuss who picked up the mop and proceeded to use it on Collin..:P How it changed my life:It is rare I trust my husband anymore...lol...he has a great sense of humor...I'm just often not able to laugh about those kind of things until later. LOL
