Boo Badly

It's been 4+ hours since Eldon said hi to Christine and me on his way to church, and I still can't stop shaking my head.  Christine and I were having a lovely morning, coming back from first service, and on our way to the farmer's market to have a still more lovely time, catching up, laughing, enjoying the fall sun, when Eldon jumped out of the bushes to say hi to us.

Grown man.  Hiding behind a planter.  On the way to church.  Waiting for us to walk by.  Just so he could jump out.

It was all so absurd and ridiculous and surprising that I was momentarily at a loss for words.  I could only say "I hate you," in between bouts of laughing.  Eldon jumping out of the bushes is exactly why I'm afraid to hiccup around him (and by association, Jess, for fear that she'd mention it).  He takes his scare tactics way too seriously.  Christine, however, put Eldon in his place and told him to scram.

Christine is the best.
