QUOTE : The creature took one look at me screaming, got a panicked expression on its face, and started hollering too. “Aaaaahhhhhh!!!”<br /><br />My scream petered out as I realized that this thing was as scared of me as I was of it. But that didn’t make a whole lot of sense, since it was the creature, not me.<br /><br />“What are you screaming for?” I asked.<br /><br />“What are you screaming for?” he asked back.<br /><br />“I asked you first.”<br /><br />The thing sniffed while dusting some imaginary lint off its jacket. “I was being polite.”<br /><br />“Polite?”<br /><br />“Yes. I didn’t want you to feel bad about being scared and screaming like a little human girl.
