So, Classic Celia Moment #1: A couple of weeks ago, my sister and brother-in-law were dropping me off at my apartment after a nice evening of babysitting my nieces. I did laundry while at their house so I placed my laundry basket in their trunk for the short drive over to my apartment. When we reached my complex, I stepped out of the car and made my way around to the back to open up the trunk. It was dark and I wasn't fully aware of my surroundings. I set the laundry basket down on the ground next to me, swung the trunk lid shut, and took a step to the right. As I did so, I felt something squish underneath my foot and heard the rather nasty sound of thick liquid splattering on pavement. I pulled my foot up quickly to find that I had stepped on a frog/lizard/insect/whatever-thing (I'm still trying to figure out what the heck this thing was) and that all the liquid that was in this creature before my unfortunate misstep was now foaming to the left of it in the parking lot. The creature had somehow flipped onto its back and its legs and arms were flailing about as it tried to right itself. At the sound of my strangled cry, my sister got out of the car and stood beside me as I tried to figure out what this monstrosity was. Our speculations were cut short, however, as the creature did eventually manage to right itself. As it began to limp (rather quickly, I might add) toward the car, I grabbed my laundry basket and ran up to my apartment while Brittany hastily got back into her car, shouting, "Make sure you wash your shoes!" as her vehicle sped out of sight. Needless to say, I was grossed out for the rest of the evening. The still visible splatter mark in the parking lot of my apartment complex will forever serve as a testament of the events of that disgusting night.
Yes, you can say it. That is the kind of thing that would happen to me.
This is not at all what the "creature" looked like. |
