In which I nearly freaking died

[keelywolfe]

You know,I work in a male dominated field. I am a sci-fi and horror buff. I collect transformers and I did it BEFORE I slashed them.



So my kids were playing outside and whining that they were bored and I decided to put up a play tent for them. Went out in the garage to grab it from the neatly wadded up heap it was in and when I picked it up, something large moved on its own. it's pretty dark in there so my brain immediately went with this option:

OH MY FUCKING GOD SOMETHING HUGE JUST MOVED, RUN, RUN, FORGET THE KIDS AND SAVE YOURSELF!!!!

I did manage push aside the adrenaline enough to save my children and promptly went inside to inform my husband he needed to do his manly duty and kill whatever it was that scared me half to freaking death. It was obviously some hideous mutation hiding out in my garage, just waiting to consume human flesh. Reluctantly, he pulled himself away from his computer to check out my death beast.

What did he find? A frog. A large, slimy frog.

I maintain that the death beast fled after I screamed.
