I was preparing for Hurricane Andrew by baking some Gingerbread men. I knew the
electricity would be off for a while so I knew they would keep and give us something to eat
in the days ahead. I had just taken them out of the oven when I turned my back and I felt
something crawling up my back. Can you imagine the shock I got when I saw it was a
gingerbread man trying to bite my neck. I pulled it off and tossed it onto the floor. But
then, all of them started after me. I asked why they were doing it and they said it was
because for years I had tried to bite their heads off and they had finally had enough. I
opened the back door to run, and saw Hurricane Andrew approaching from the East. I had
to decide which was worse, the Hurricane, or the Gingerbread men. I have never gone
back to the house since.
