So what would your family do when approached by a large czechoslovakian stalker woman?
I don't know what yours would do but as this morning's experience revealed, my family did the logical, sane, adult thing.
We hid.
Well, maybe not in the strict sense of the word. My parents argued in the kitchen very quietly in Croatian about who would get the door. Of course they ended up still arguing after she had left.
Meanwhile I did the only thing I could do ... barricaded myself in the bathroom. I got dressed and then stood around in panic for a while, afraid to brush my teeth even incase the noise would reveal my presence.
And when my mother tried to get me to open the door I wouldn't let her in ... Paranoia made me suspect my own mother, yipes.
Dad quietly opened the door to see scary woman across the street asking our neighbours if we were home.
Remind me to profess love to our elderly neighbours who my Dad caught saying "What do we know?" and basically shrugging her off.
Meanwhile I am quite the idiot as I left the television blaring ... if I hadn't she might have just gone away.
Although thank god for my father who made me get off the couch by telling me to get dressed incase she came ... about three minutes before she came.
On the one hand eep and on the other huzzah, she is goneded. As I need to be too as work time. Ta!
