Excitment at the Dinner Table

So during dinner tonight Jason begins the conversation like this.

"My plane got hit by lightening last night."

"What???!!!"

How's that for a jaw dropper?

"It struck the nose of the plane. That's why we were late coming home last night."

He didn't come home until 2 am. And here I thought it was because of the large patient load.

"When we landed the plane had to be inspected to see if we could continue our mission."

This was taking a minute to register. First, this was the last thing I expected my husband to say and second, he just said his plane was hit by lightening!!!

"When they inspected the nose they noticed there were a lot of holes and the paint was blown away."

"Did you feel it when it hit?" I asked.

"No, the plane was already shaking from the turbulence. We were flying between storms."

This conversation just kept getting better and better.

Let's just say I hugged him a little tighter tonight and then I reminded him that some things are better left unsaid.
