Rescue Mission.

I am a big fan of naps. I try to take one every day. They aren't 15 minute naps either they are usually 1-2 hours. So during my sophomore year of college I was about to take one of my mid-day naps. I got in bed, set my alarm on my cell phone and placed it under my pillow. About 30 minutes into my nap my phone starts ringing. I lift my pillow to answer it and the phone flies off of my bed and in between the crack of the headboard and the bed frame. I reach my arm into the crack to get my phone because getting up and crawling under my bed was too much of a process. I grab my phone and I realize my elbow is completely stuck in the crack. I literally could not get it out. I finally answer the phone and say to my friend that I had to go because my arm was stuck. So I sit there for about 5 minutes trying to wiggle my arm out of this crack and I COULD NOT get it out.

I started panicking. This made it even more difficult to get my arm out. I immediately thought they were going to have to take the bed apart which would cause a HUGE scene in my dorm. I remembered that I had locked my door so the only people that could get in was my roommate and the RA. I decided for some reason to call my neighbor first because he could see if the RA was on our floor. He started laughing really hard at me and said he was on his way back to help me. I also called my roommate...because I was panicking. She never answers the phone which always seems to annoy me more than anyone else and now in this serious time of need she was not going to answer it again. I was FREAKING OUT! HOW COULD SHE NOT ANSWER IT?!?! Then I remembered that she was on her way to class with one of our good friends. He is usually reliable, so I called him. He answered thank goodness. I start telling him that I needed help but I could not even get out why. I was laughing so hard at myself but also kind of crying at the same time because I was panicking. When I finally told him he started laughing SO HARD. He was just saying "wait...HAHAHA...you....hahahahahha got your arm stuck....in ....your..bed?....AHAHAHAHA" So he finally agrees to come help me with my roommate. So now I had to wait. I had 2 teams of people coming to my rescue. So I sat and waited. I calmed myself down.

All of a sudden, I moved a little and my arm slid RIGHT OUT. How could this happen? I was pulling and twisting and my arm was so stuck how did it come out so easily? Luckily my friends and RA did not have to come see me in such an embarrassing state. Although they still got a good laugh out of my situation. My favorite part of the day was afterwards I went online to find my friends away message said "Rescue Mission." Definitely made me laugh and inspired the title to this post.
