Me vs Mother Goose

The University of North Florida has a beautiful campus. It is full of landscaping and pretty little ponds. One of these scenic ponds is located next to the communications building. Being a communications major, I passed this small body of water every day on my way to class.

One bright beautiful day I was on my way to my first class in the communications building. Living in my own little world I did not pay close attention to my surroundings. I have a song that I'm humming in my head on my way up the path. All of the sudden a rabid goose jumps out from the bushes in front of me!

Well, okay maybe it wasn't a rabid goose. It was a big scary looking goose nonetheless. This goose had her wings spread out and neck stretched out as far as it would go. She comes running at me wings flapping and honking wildly.

What I did to offend this goose I do not know. I didn't stick around to find out. I just ran into the closest building. It was run or kick the goose. Not being one to trust my karate skills, I ran. After I gracefully ran away from a big giant goose, I proceeded to look for witnesses of said attack. To my relief there weren't any.

I learned to pass that pond with caution. Anytime I saw a goose near the walkway I went the long way around. I'd rather be late to class than attacked by a rabid goose.

Why is it that I am continually being chased by vicious animals???

I remember the first time you told me that story. To this day it still makes me laugh.
