On the van ride to school this morning, one of the girls was telling a story about her former roommate's encounter with a crocodile. Specifically, she was relating how the girl screamed when she saw one two feet away from her and ran away as fast as she could.
Someone made the comment that screaming and running is probably not the best thing to do when faced with a crocodile. My question was, "What is the appropriate response?"
Then I got to thinking. This thought process normally takes place as an inner monologue. Today, however, I was thinking aloud. I said something like this:
Well, you could wear clothes made of iron. Special crocodile clothes. But then if the crocodile bit you, it's teeth might dent the clothes... and it would be like your clothes were biting you.
The girls sitting around me thought it was a really weird thing to say - probably because it was a really weird thing to say. I don't know what happened... It just came out.

but see Lauren it was a completely normal Lauren thing to say...and i can imagine the conversation if Michael, Andy etc were around would have continued on for a good half an hour of conjecturing on what constituted Crocodile-proof clothes! aaaahhh.....i laugh just thinking about it.
