Overheard

(from the kitchen) Red: AAAaaa!!!!!
Me: What's the matter, hon?
Red: Um, hi....I have a fire?
Me: *obscenity*

Going in, I spotted a flaming paper towel on the floor and Red standing there with no shoes. I set a pot lid over it until it went out, and swept it up.

Red sounds like me, except in my case it would be a spider.

Good thinking. I do the same thing that lattegirl does with spiders. Can't stand 'em, especially since we get those behemoth wolf spiders that are brave enough to come dashing at me. Little bastards.

Red sounds awfully calm about fire. I'm quite sure I would have screamed. Loudly.
