Catch a Falling Star

I think we saw a falling star last night.

I mean, I think it was a falling star. I'm not really sure. But, it was this beautiful greenish-blue color, and it just........fell. From the sky. And disappeared.

It was beautiful. We all spent a few minutes talking about it; what it might be, where it might have landed. Then, we were silent. I just figured everyone was contemplating the event.

Then Mike says, "You know, if that thing had been red, I'd have said that Rudolph's nose had just fallen off."

Just like that. As serious as you please, he said that sentence. I looked at him with my one eyebrow raised. It's the look I give him when he has said something silly or crazy, which is quite often.

He says, "Yep. Could have been Rudolph's nose if it had been red."
