Feeling too stressed? Hope this will serve as a little comic relief in your life.

Cal and I were all ready to sleep. We turned off the lights, and even left some music on (my CD player has a sleep mode). He sleeps on the mattress under the aircon, and I sleep on the bed, 90 degrees away. We were about to sleep...then Cal suddenly got up and said, "There's a worm". Stunned, I asked him to turn on the lights. He did, and came to my side. In panic, I thought the worm was on my bed. I kept searching my blanket and screamed in hope it hadn't come to me. At that point, Cal tapped my shoulder, and said, "no, its not here. It's there" He said it while pointing at his mattress.

At that point both of us starred at his mattress. I asked him to describe what had happened. He said the worm dropped on his hair, then he tried to remove it, and felt something slimy, and tried to fling it off his hand, causing it to "fly" to his blanket. After some moments of staring at his blanket in fear, I plucked up whatever courage I had and shaked his blanket. At one point, I saw a reddish brown slimy thing. It did look like a worm, though I didn't see all of it. That sent me screaming. And Cal clinged on to my arm. We were both so afraid! haa.. that night made me realise how afraid of worms Cal is. Before that, I thought I was the only one. And in case you're wondering, it was 12+am, so the rest were sleeping.

Nevertheless, we went to look for my dad and woke him up to help remove the worm from Cal's blanket. When he came, he picked up the blanket and shook it. This was different from the way I did. It was fearlessly done. I think. heee.. Dropping from the blanket, was a little lizard. Cal was beside me, and he said "Oh... What a relief". Yea, so.. the worm had all this while been lizard. We are also afraid of lizards, but much less than worms. But it was quite a joke that we had to go to our dad just to find out it was a lizard. I guess what I had seen earlier, was the lizard's tail.

Ever since that night, whenever Cal slept in my room, he'd say "there's a lizard!". haha. This time, it's "as a joke".
