Human Wrecking Ball

Frederick likes to call me a "human wrecking ball." Why? (one moment please... while I laugh)
Case in Point....

Tuesday, like this past Tuesday, I worked and 8-hour day, left "early," and drove to Keesler AFB to hang out and play tennis with Fred. I walked up to his room, knocked on his door, and Fred opens up the door slowly with a huge smile on his face. "Get in here," he says in a jokingly forceful manner. So I walk in, right. He proceeds to bend over and kiss my head as I walked by. I, being the randomly jerky person that I am, suddenly turn my head towards him as I'm still walking. It was that motion that cause me to head-but Fred in his chin. Once I felt the random ping on top of my head and heard the crack caused by the bone of my head in contact with the bone of his chin followed by a "Aaaoouuuh," I knew what had happened. I instantly turn around and apologized over and over again. (Note: This happens all of the time.) He laughed but was like, "Jaclyn, I was just trying to kiss you." Many more apologies proceeded to spew from my mouth.

Later that evening, he walked up to hug me with no shoes on... focus in on the no-shoes part. I, wearing tennis shoes, moved in closer to hug him back as my right foot moved forward... only to skim over the top of his "bad toe." Another "Aaaoouuuh!" occurred  followed by him backing off, turning away, and laughing. I basically crunched his poor toe, and he was simply trying to hug me. Many, many apologies followed and some giggling. Poor guy!

Good grief! As Fred said, "We were just about to have a moment..." Haha! And I ruined it with my "I really didn't mean to almost break your chin/teeth and stomp off your toe."

Human. Wrecking. Ball. I've apparently got plenty of evidence that would have me "proven guilty" in a court of law. Let's just hope and pray that Fred survives all of it. Praise God that he has up until this point....
