Young Grasshopper

Monday was a rainy day, so when Tammy and I went out for our afternoon break we stood underneath the shelter where the central air system was.

We both happened to notice, at the same time, a tiny grasshopper that was sitting right on top of the central air unit, looking like it was holding on for dear life.

The fan was blowing the air up and out of the top. Every once in a while you would see its leg lift up, not really sure if he wind took hold of it or if it got tired of holding on to the grate too tightly.

I'm not really sure which one of use said it first but we said, "No, Don't jump, don't do it! He's not worth it."

"Just hang in there a little longer. You'll find another grasshopper that will be so much better, treat you better and even have a bigger "WINK, WINK"

Then we laughed about it. First of all because we automatically assumed it was a female and were talked her up. Then because this tiny little grasshopper still had our attention while still holding on. Which got us thinking...... hmmmmm.

This AC unit vibrates while it is running, could it be.....maybe....mayeb it was contemplating suicide - maybe it was ummmmmm trying to get off.

So now we are laughing hysterically at the thoughts that were running through our minds of this grasshopper sitting purposely on the AC unit to enjoy the vibration and here we are disturbing her pleasure.

A few of our other co-workers were looking at us strangely as we were making such a ruckus. So we gave them the short condensed version of the grasshopper needing to be rescued.

Suddenly the tiny creature attempted to move across the grate. I was afraid it would either fall in or get blown off the unit. Between the two of us (Tammy and I) we slowly assisted the grasshopper to safety.

Go, run free little grasshopper.

LOL OMG

Mike would be so proud of me.

Look honey I saved a grasshopper....aren't you proud of me?
