What a crazy day!!

Nona you will love this story!! So I was walking down the hall to go into Landen and Kenzie's room to put a movie on for them. When I turned the corner I saw the biggest spider I have ever seen in the middle of the hallway! I screamed and took off running in the other room. I caught myself and relized what I had done and knew the kids would come running out of there room to see what i was screaming for so I ran back to stop them so they wouldn't get by the big spider. When I went back I realized the big spider was not a spider, it was a crab. We had bought a crab to put in our fishtank when we moved here and that damn crab somehow found a way to crawl out of the fish tank and was making his get away!! So of course me being the big chicken I am call Lane to tell him to come home and get it!! And of course he wasn't gonna be home for another hour or so. He just told me to smash it with something. I put a clear tupperware container over it so he couldn't go anywhere and after talking to Lane and seeing that he wasn't going to be any help I called my dad to tell him how bad I wished he was there to get this crab for me! Of course he laughed like crazy and then told me to get my broom and dustpan and scoop him up in that. So I decided I would be brave and do that and when Lane got home he would be so suprised that I got rid of it! So I take the tupper ware container off of this crab and go to scoop him up and this crab took of crawling so fast. I screamed and threw the dust pan and it kept running towards me!! I finally remembered I had had him covered with the container so I threw it back over him! The kids were both laughing at me not realizing what I was actually doing! Landen kept going up to the container and saying "Hi bug what you doing." But I don't think he really realized what it was. After a couple times of trying I gave up and waited for Lane to get home! I think I gave the crab a heart attack because when Lane came home he scooped it right up with no problems! He turned around to show Landen what it was and Landen screamed and did not want to be anywhere near that crab! So I decided to flush him down the toilet (Nona I know I am so mean because I didn't shoot it first, no guns in California though!) and needless to say I will not be buying anymore crabs to put in my fish tank!
