A Moment with Mr D
Oct. 2nd, 2025 07:06 pm
I walked into a stationery shop, and picked up a couple of big envelopes that I needed, and when I'd bought them, I came out of the shop and was putting my wallet back into my handbag.
As I rummaged in my bag, I grabbed something hard and spiky, and when I lifted it out of the bag it was one of those life-sized plastic spiders that you see on the Hallowe'en decorations.
I let out an emarrassingly high-pitched yelp a muttered expletive and dropped the offending arachnid on the floor.
"Did you put that in my bag?" I snapped at Mr D.
"What?" Mr D replied, confused.
"That," I squealed, pointing at the floor; "that bloody plastic spider."
Mr D looked down at it, then up at me. "I love how your default is 'DID YOU PUT THAT IN MY BAG, YOU GIT', and not, 'oh, I wonder how that got there?'
My bad...
(On reflection, I think my handbag brushed one of their hallowe'en displays as I walked in the shop)
