I wish I could say it was an exaggeration.
The truth, though? It wasn't. It actually played out in the most unbelievable way imaginable. If I told you the story now, you wouldn't believe me.
So, I'm sitting there, right? Just looking off into the great void that is the day, wondering when this person would shut up about their ingrown toenail. It's like, I get it, Susan..it sucks. Move on with your life.
So I'm sitting there, nodding so I at least appear to be polite, when all of the sudden, there is this HUGE boom. Like, it totally sounded like a sonic boom or whatever. It was loud, there was no missing it.
Except...
No one else is even looking around. They act as if they didn't hear it, but they HAD to have because it was loud.
I asked Susan if she heard it and she looked at me like I was crazy. So I mimic the sound and she gives me that patronizing look of hers and tells me I'm being silly.
Maybe I nodded off...I don't know.
So I tell Susan McBitchface that I'm not feeling well and I need to go home. So I head home and watch TV. I'm enthralled in the movie I'm watching when I hear the boom again.
I jump up and run to the window and look out and see absolutely nothing. I'm not sure what is going on here, but I'm starting to get scared. I run to my room and hit the ground, praying that someone would save me from whatever it is that is going on.
I hear the boom again and it sounds so loud, so very, very loud. I don't know what would inspire someone to make that sound, but it is absolutely terrifying.
In conclusion, vacuums absolutely suck.
Especially when you're a dog.

Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: participating bloggers picked 4 – 6 words or short phrases for someone else to craft into a post. All words must be used at least once and all the posts will be unique as each writer has received their own set of words. That’s the challenge, here’s a fun twist; no one who’s participating knows who got their words and in what direction the writer will take them. Until now.
I’m using: exaggeration ~ polite ~ mimic ~ save ~ inspire ~ conclusion
