A Knight in Dragonland

I had an interesting experience this morning. Let me share it with you … even though I’m sure you’ll wish I hadn’t.

I went to bed early last night – around 8:30, right after putting the girls to bed. I was just tired yesterday for some reason. I awoke to my alarm around 6:30 this morning, and Little Dragon #2 was up early and crawled in bed with us. I stumbled out of bed and into the shower. Nothing unusual so far.

Showering and talking to myself. Again, nothing unusual.

I get out of the shower and dry myself off.

Huh … I feel something in my mouth. Weird … did I miss something brushing and flossing last night? I knock this piece of material loose with my tongue and spit it out onto a piece of toilet paper.

Huh.

That has legs.

(Feeling around my mouth with my tongue a bit more … finding something else … spitting it out).

Yup, that’s another leg.

It was a spider … with 2 legs still attached and four more loose in my mouth. The other two? Ahhh well … extra protein!

Mr. Spider must have thought my mouth looked like a good place to spend the night and crawled inside. He was mistaken. He either drowned in my spit or was crushed by nocturnal bruxism.

My wife has vowed to never kiss me again.
