The Crab

We had a tasty dinner (I had mango crab cakes, yum!) with an outstanding view and a great breeze this evening at the Tower Bar. When we came down the stairs to pick up our double stroller, Karston noticed two holes in the ground in the natural area (rocks and plants) around the tree base. Karston grabbed Mary's hand to go investigate with him. (He's fascinated with holes in the ground right now. I would make jokes, but he wouldn't get them at this age.) Karston bent over to peer down the farther hole when a hermit crab scuttled out just into view! Karston screamed loudly, impressively loudly, AAAH! A CRAB! I'm sure the whole restaurant knew that Karston was surprised by a crab. In fact, the cook came out of the close-by kitchen to make sure he was ok. Karston also quickly jumped behind Mary and peeked around her knee at the crab who scuttled back down his hole. He pointed to the closer hole, Mary, what's in that hole? She replied, I think that crab's friend lives next door to him. Karston very confidently said, Well that crab is no friend of mine!

We're still laughing about that. Eek, a crab, no friend of mine! You never know what you're going to hear, and sometimes it's quite funny.
