Last Wednesday there was a story about a frog scaring a mom, today I have another scream for you. This is a story told to me by one of my college roommates (Forgive me for telling your story Holly). When she was a young teen her family moved to a large old house in need of renovations. They were constantly having construction workers and delivery men coming to the house. One morning the doorbell rang and Holly answered the door to find another delivery. The man was insistent that an adult sign for the materials so Holly left him in the front entry and went in search of her mom.
In the entryway was a shelf on which rested several ornaments one of which was a large white rabbit. There was another resident in the house, Holly’s solid black Persian cat, Rover (her brothers wanted a dog, but that is another story). This day Rover had decided to sit on the shelf with the white rabbit. I could just see how they would complement each other; a solid white rabbit and a solid black cat, both looking very ornamental.
Holly was having trouble locating her mom so the delivery person was patiently waiting next to the shelf. Right after Holly located her mom, they heard a blood curdling scream from the front entry and a loud exclamation “It’s alive!”. I can just imagine it now, Rover sitting on the shelf real still in her regalness then slowly turning her head to look at the delivery man. That particular delivery man never came back to the house
