Scaring my wife - Act 6

Scare #6 - We got Worms

The basic setup- Nicole and I went camping this weekend to Lake Casitas. While I was loading the car with our camping gear, I placed a few fake worms in her bag.

The action - After the arrive at camp rituals of setting up the tent, inflating the air matress, taking out the sleeping bags, etc., Nicole needed to change her clothes or do something that required her to reach deep down inside her duffle bag. Since we had to work on Friday, and traffic was pretty bad driving through LA, we didn't arrive to our campiste until after sunset. So Nicole is reaching into her duffle bag with only the light of a nearby lantern that barely lets her see what she is doing. Nicole is feeling around until she comes across something slimy. Something a little gooey. Nicole pulled out the worm and did not have the slightest hint of being scared. I take some credit for this. Her training has paid off, and she has elevated her fear handling ability to an admirable level. She admitted that at first she was afraid that she left some candy in her bag, but this isn't quite the type of fear I was looking for.

This did prompt Nicole to share with me the fate of Chewey, who you might remember from scare number 5. I will save that story for another post, it will be a good one.
