come·up·pance (kmpns)
n.
A punishment or retribution that one deserves
So I'm in Blind Bay for the weekend, visiting Barb. We have a weekend of relaxation, movies, popcorn and general sloth-ish-ness planned. We watch 'PS, I love you'. Everyone I know who has seen this movie assured me that I would sob like a baby when I watched it. I didn't. Didn't even shed ONE tear. Further evidence that I possess a cold little black heart.
After the movie we decide to have a dip in Barb's new hot tub... the hot tub where I was entertained by Barb and her raccoons. Lucky for me, there were no raccoons tonight.... there was, however... a noise. A big noise. Crashing in the forest. The sound of something perhaps climbing a tree and breaking huge branches on it's way up. Something that sounded easily as big as a bear.
I screamed. Barb laughed. More crashing. More screaming... more of Barb laughing. I did what any sane person would do. I stood up in the hot tub, shook my fist in the general direction of the forest-crashing and yelled "The power of Christ compels you!!!!" At this point, Barb is howling... she can barely breathe, she is laughing so hard. Ugly-face laughing.
Yeah.... I totally deserved that, didn't I?
Sheesh.
