Once When Things Went Bump in the Night


 
 
When the kids were young, we had just returned from a long trip, going to bed I had just fallen asleep.

Maureen heard someone outside the house and woke me.

Not really awake I rolled out a bed and grabbed a short stick I kept near the bed (Short Stick being one of my studies).

I crept down stairs and quietly turned on the outside light.
 

Finding a raccoon had invaded our trash can.
 
I went back upstairs after turning over the light. Tossed the stick to my wife and told her, next time you go, you are a black belt after all.
 
And I went back to sleep, back to sleep, perchance to dream of raccoons and trash cans.
