"One moment," she says.
"Turn around," she says.
"Don't scream," she says.
Then Sara proceeds to pull a sticker off the back of my neck. From what she said, I was expecting something a little hairier, with about eight more legs.
Thanks, Sara, for saving me from sticker embarrassment. And for the well-intentioned but vague warning that was supposed to let me know what you were about to pull off me might take some hairs with it- possibly painfully. (Hence the "Don't scream.") My heart has stopped pounding now. ;)
Sorry. My tongue was tied. Had I been able to fully articulate, I would have said, "Jessica, there's a great big honking sticker in your hair that I think you would like me to remove. If that surmise is correct, please turn in the correct direction for me to release you from the burden of this sticker and please don't scream if it is painful. I don't want people in the Benson to think that I am intentionally hurting you." As I said, my tongue was tied because you were walking away, I saw it, and I thought I needed to act quickly.
ReplyDeleteNext time, I'll say, "Jessica, there are aliens trying to kidnap you. They're locking on to the sticker in your hair. I will save you from abduction if you allow me to."
Does that suffice?
I love you guys.
DeleteThis made me laugh a little too hard.
