funny story...

one particular evening...

(last night)

one particular brave knight...

(DH)

decided it was a good time to do his knightly duty...

(take out the trash)

when the Heavens opened and threw down a lightning bolt...

(not a simple little one with a small flash)

it was the mother of all lightning bolts...

(it lit up the inside of the house as well as all of God's creation outside)

and the thunder sounded immediately afterward...

(like within a couple seconds)

caught in mid flight of drawing his sword...

(just as he was lifting the lid of the garbage can)

which made the knight scream in terror...

(like a little girl)

dump his cargo...

(the bag of trash)

while his humble court...

(Craig and I)

rushed to his aid...

(laughed until we were holding our sides)

grateful that he was not wearing his armor...

(lightning rod)

and we lived happily ever after...

(rolling in the floor)
