Brian and Frosty !
~ by Hénock Gugsa  (ሄኖክ  ጉግሣ ) ~

     It didn't happen to me, but it did, many years ago, to a wacky co-worker of mine named Brian.  He was a rather slender fellow with a voracious appetite.  You never saw him without some piece of food in his mouth.  He was always noshing on something, and he was always bragging about his bacchanal attachment to food.
     Brian would tell of his nightly raids on his well-stocked refrigerator at home.  So, one night, he had awoken from a deep slumber and was heading barefoot to the kitchen as usual.  But this time, he hadn't even bothered to turn the light on and was blindly feeling his way to his destination.  Suddenly, he stopped!  He had stepped on something wet and gelatinous under his errant foot.  He described this experience glowingly and almost with some kind of worshipful ecstasy.
     He said he was envisioning melted chocolate on his foot and his mouth was salivating as he spoke.  He said that his foot began to quash the sticky stuff as his toes wriggled in harmony with his every movement.  At last he couldn't stand it any longer.  He had
to see what a delightful vision awaited him on his foot.
     He reached to the nearest wall that had a light switch and turned it on.  He looked down at his foot ... and what he saw did not shock him at all.  Instead, he was delirious with the insane hilarity of the situation ... he had stepped on his cat's poop!  Frosty had had an accident early on that evening and left a generous deposit on the kitchen floor!
     Brian wished his wife and children were up to see the masterpiece mousse he had created that wondrous night!  But no matter! ...  at least Frosty was there looking up quizzically at him !!! 🤔 👍
