This just happened

*DING DONG!*

srah answers the door. There is a woman holding a multi-pack of paper towels. "Hello!" she gaily greets me, "Are you the lady of the house?"

"Well... I'm the one at home..." I respond. I think I don't deal well with answering doors.

"So you're not the lady of the house?"

"I guess not."

"Okay. Thanks. Bye!"

Paper towels? WTF? Why does this seem like a dream I would have?

Didn't you once tell me you answered the door ny yelling: "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" ?

Or was that just when I threatened to drop by?

I think that was you.

You should have answered the door as Mrs. White, wearing your dark sunglasses... I wonder if she would have changed her question? ;)

Later I went over to Robin's house and a guy came to the door with paper towels. I had already told Robin the story, so she opened the door and said, "Are you going to give those to me?" He asked if the homeowner were there and she said she was busy, so he said, "We're selling something" and left. WEIRD.

Robin suggested that I should have replied, "No, I'm the WHORE OF THE HOUSE!!!!1"

Kirby vacuum cleaner salespeople, I would guess. They toured our neighborhood last fall.

If I were a salesperson, and I really wanted to make a sale, I would not limit myself to the "people of the house". I would try to get a sale out of whichever schmuck answered the door.
