The One Where I Threaten to Do Karate

Date: 3/27/2024

I’m in a grocery store — possibly for an episode of Guy’s Grocery Games because there are cameras set up — with Alex and the twins. I’m pushing the stroller and feeling slightly annoyed with Alex. Somehow, we end up in what feels like an Egyptian tomb. I continue to push the stroller down dimly lit hallways when I realize I’m going in some kind of circle. I’m suddenly nervous about not knowing how to get out of here. On the floor ahead of me, I see a large flesh-colored gecko. For some reason, I’m afraid of it. Someone says something about seeing an anaconda eat one of these. Somehow, I end up outside with Brody, Devan, Peyton, Blane, and Brianna. I walk beside Peyton — who is much taller than usual — and notice that she’s become extremely thin. Not thinking, I say, “You’re so thin that I want to kick you in the face.” I start going on about how I’m going to do some sort of karate kick. She doubles over laughing and Brianna catches up with us to ask what’s so funny. I explain everything to her and Peyton says, “Don’t worry, you’ll be thinner than me.” I don’t know if she’s serious or just trying to make me feel good.
