well, we were done with dinner at burger king east coast and were walking back to the car (parked a distance away) through the narrow passageway beside the grass patch.
suddenly, hubby stopped us from moving forward. he didn't alarm us, but simply pointed at sth on the path....claire went ahead to see and thought it resembled a centipede. some wriggling movement. but, my immediate reaction was a baby 's' - sorry, i was not allowed to spell out in full, lest joy freaked out upon reading this and might just faint at the sight of the word.
the 2 girls and i froze at the spot for a while, barely 60 cm away from the danger spot. trust joy to hold out her new i-phone and quickly videoed me screaming away in hysteria.....claire ran across first, followed by me, then joy.
we were still in a state of shock after the whole crossing over. c'mon, just think about it, if my dear hubby had not stayed so alert while walking in front of us, anyone of us could have stepped onto the 'reptile'. trust me, i will surely faint and might need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!
in the car, we were still talking about it while joy hummed her way to block her ears from our 'dreadful' conversation. hubby teased us,"hmm...come to think of it, how could a baby reptile appear out of no where unless...hmm.." i continued,"r u trying to tell us that the mummy reptile is just round the corner?"
the conversation really scared me to a pallid state.
anyway, all ended well. in claire's declaration,"what an adventurous night!"
i was simply glad that my darling hubby is our saviour. without his presence, our lives will be doomed....ha, such an exaggeration. simply to emphasise how impt a role he plays in our family.
the girls and i love him lots...

Huh, in the dark. I probably wouldn't see it too. Once there was one downstairs when I was on my way home from mum's block, Blackie stepped and killed it immediately. I told him he could have taken a bigger round and left it alone. He said it could have bite any other people.
ReplyDeleteWow, Blackie is so brave! Orange will sure leave it alone, always chiding me for killing ants at home, saying they have parents too! Whaha!
ReplyDeleteyee, blackie is so 'scary' too...he's like a wild human who has no fear for anything.
ReplyDeletehaha, maybe he only fears the 'white' lady.
and ha, orange is still the kind meek being.
yes, our family will just leave it alone, scream a lil and then take a detour and finally, laugh over the whole incident.
