Reminiscing

We have been having heavy rains here in York, which reminded me of this story I wrote some time ago....


I walked to church last night, however, after the service it was raining extremely hard!!! So someone offered to drive me home. The short jet to the car left our hair completely wet. But it gets worse. They stopped in front of my apartment and I did my best to run through the rain and water in my flip flops! But there happened to be a grate at the end of the parking area, which meant that ALL the water was running...i mean rushing, to the drain. I didn't realize how deep the water really was till I took a step in and my pants got wet practically up to my knees! The current was so fast and rapid I thought it might knock me over. Suddenly my sandal was ripped off my foot and quickly floated right down the drain hole!!! (No, my flip flop!) I stopped in shock and didn't know what to do next, so I made a step toward the grate to see if there was any possible chance of getting it back...but to my surprise...suddenly the riptides ripped off my other sandal!! haha So I stood there bare foot, in shock, as the water drenched my pants, and of course the rain took care of the rest of my helpless body. However, the second flip flop was luckier than its pair, and was stuck on the grate and never made its way down the never ending drain hole. I walked (more like swam) to my favorite brown old navy sandal; I wasn't sure if I should put it back on my foot, throw it down the drain hole with the other, or just walk it to the trash can. I just picked it up and made my way up to my apartment, barefoot and holding my only survival sandal!

I have to say that I laughed the whole way up to my fourth floor apartment! I only wish this could have been recorded. I don't know if reading about this story will be funny to you. But just ask me and I'll tell you all about it in person ;)
