Boo!

The other day I had a sudden attack of the hiccups. It had been quite some time since I last had such an uncontrollable bout of them. Latino asked if I knew how to stop them and I said, "Yes! Scare me!" He replied that scaring me would not be effective if I was expecting it. I decided he was right and proceeded working on some things around the house, all the while hiccupping unceasingly.

A few minutes later I was putting away dishes in the kitchen. I turned around and there, inches in front of my face, was Sasha. I screamed, as I was truly startled that Sasha was at eye level in Latino's arms. I probably scared her in turn because she startles easily as well. Even though my hiccups did not subside, I appreciated Latino's gesture. This is one unpredictable household.
