Day 2 - Not These Two Again!

HOLY SH*T

You will not believe what just happened to me...

So, alongside having three kids during the day...I also am watching my sisters dog while she's out of the country. Normally, that consists of leaving him at the house I share with said sister.

However, last night and today he spent over at my Mom's place and she asked me to come get him.

This is no problem as all three kids really like "Hobby" (his name is "Javi" but it's close enough)...

So we go scoop up "Hobby" and I'm quite the sight...A sedan with 3 kids in the back, a dog (Owen - "Is he a Dalamatian?") riding shotgun and then me...

I get to my house, don't even risk taking the kids out of the car, hustle Javi inside and on the way downstairs I hear "ratta-tat-tat-tat" on the front door.

Who could be knocking?

THE MORMONS FROM YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess seeing me startled them enough for one to hop back quickly. I sling the door open, part them like the red sea, slap one on the shoulder and say firmly, yet politely, that I don't have time to chat.

And then I guess the guilt settled in...or the fear of the unknown...or just the fact these two kids are walking all over this area of town...so we started to talk.

The one who looked like he was thinking "This walking business sucks" was from Northern California. The other one, who looked like "Landry" from Friday Night Lights, was from Nevada.

"So hows that work? They just send you guys as far away as possible to freak you out?"

Both laugh.

I decide "Big Love" on HBO does not do the Mormon sense of humor justice.

They tell me how long they've been kicking tires in Richmond...Explain the process ("Pretty much any house with a car out front") and tell me they've been moderately successful.

I smile and say good luck fellas.

"Landry" starts to say how interesting it is to see me two days in a row... didnt hear what he went on to say...I was on the way into my car...Nice kids though.

I just hope I never see them again.
