Demon Noodle

Evening. Dinnertime. The hunger started to set in as the daylight faded away into darkness. What should we eat? Quandry...perhaps Spasketti! (aka Spaghetti). Simple. Innocent....or so we thought. No, this isn't a story about food poisoning. As the title states it's about. . . THE DEMON NOODLE!
We began innocently enough. Zac cut the onion (cried a little). Kelsey fried up the meat and began to boil the noodles. It appeared the noodles were almost done! To test their consistency ZAC (he claims "we" but I don't buy that. . . I was the victim here!) decided to use the fail proof Stick-the-noodle-to-the-wall-test.
The surface:




The noodle stuck! Victory! (we were very hungry...) Zac being the wonderful husband that he is, decided to clean up the noodle. He reached, grabbed...and came away with a mere inch of the once lengthy noodle. Where had the remainder gone? Like a twisted Eye Spy game,we both scoured the kitchen, searching for the lost noodle. Said Zac, "Honey, maybe it's on your back!" Kelsey was sitting on the counter in front of the cupboard at the time. Logical, it could have fallen straight off the counter.


In an effort to uncover the location of the noodle, Kelsey agreed to descend from her lofty position. But her plans were spoiled. This time by the conniving handle on an ill placed drawer! The vicious handle latched onto Kelsey's super cute jammies! Unable to gain her footing, Kelsey plummeted to the kitchen floor in utter agony! "Don't touch it! It hurts it hurts!!" Zac, torn between his fallen wife and the still missing noodle, chose to comfort his bride. (Smart man...) The pain was gone but in it's place a dark colored bruise, a battle wound, remained.














Yet, the whereabouts of the noodle remained a mystery. Kelsey, concerned about a possible infestation of creepy critters, insisted the search for the very naughty noodle continue. Just when all seemed to be lost, there it was coiled like a snake among the daisies. It's yellow head mockingly taunted us seeming to say, "Look what happens when you mess with a noodle." Boy, did we learn our lesson! We promptly disposed of the remains of the evil noodle.






So think twice next time you decide to perform the stick-the-noodle-to-the-wall test.
