I'm glad you posted this :)
I remember when you first posted it ready for the challenge, I couldn't stop laughing, a much needed laugh it was too. And it's no exception now, the imagery just stands out and I can see you giggling as well...:)
Quirky and fun and funny....and the moment you described is priceless lol I've had those moments and they are when you realize that laughter really is the best medicine!
