Note: do NOT laugh while eating!

So, today (yesterday, I mean) I all most died, literally. The day was going normal, so to say I went to Andres house for an interview bc I'll be nannying his daughter every Friday. After that I just was waiting around until Josh got off work because we were going to hang out but he had a meeting. I arrived at his apt and then we went to Albertsons to buy food for dinner. The missionaries were coming over to eat with us. Josh made steaks, corn on the cob, and some pasta....I just watched. I didn't want to get in his way! We sat around the table prayed, talked, and laughed. Me being me...I laughed a lot. One point I put steak in my mouth but hadn't chewed it yet but I started to laugh...and then...I started choking. I didn't say anything at first thinking maybe I can get it out...then after that...I was maybe I can wash it down...didn't work. I looked at Josh...and he asked if I was okay...I was shoke my head no. Everyone got up from the table but the missionaries couldn't do anything bc they couldn't touch me, understandable. So, Josh was going to try the hemlich but I walked into the bathroom before he could do anything...so i wouldn't get it on his carpet. He kept trying and trying but it wasn't coming out. I kept trying to cough it up but couldn't. FINALLY I spit it up! My throat is a little sore right now but I'm alive. The rest of the night I kept getting...no laughing when you have food in your mouth, or every five minutes they'd ask I mean Josh would ask..."Are you okay...are you breathing?" It was probably one of the scariest days of my life and I was really embaressed! I'm so thankful that I'm okay and alive. DO NOT LAUGH WHILE EATING!
