A few weeks ago I was explaining to a group of people how if there was a movie about my life it would be called, “You’re not going to believe this” because crazy things happen to me and what’s crazy about these crazy things is that there is usually someone else there to verify what happened!
Last week I experienced another one of those crazy things that could only happen to me! A friend and I were eating lunch in Madison Square Park across from my office the other day. There is a place in the park that serves the best burgers and shakes and people line up in front of it about an hour before lunch time and the line windes around the park.
So Ellen and I are sitting down to each lunch and it is like a freakin petting zoo, the birds and Squirrels in this park are very used to people. It is almost Winter so all the wildlife are storing up for the cold weather. This means that they are pretty muh collecting anything they can get their paws on. This includes the food that Ellen and I are trying to eat! We spent the entire meal shooing the critters away. Suddenly I go to take a bite of my lunch and I feel something on by back. I suddenly realize that a squirrel has jumped on my back in hopes of getting some of my food. Of course, I jump up screaming as Ellen sits there with her mouth open and her eyes as big as I have ever seen them. The squirrel jumps off my back and scurries away as a crowd of people waiting in line begin to laugh.
“OH my gosh, I can’t believe the squirrel jumped on me” (Me) “You handled that much better than I would have” (Ellen).
So there you have it, I can add that to the list of crazy things that have happened to me!!!!
