Now, I know the phrase "It's funny" is never really used at appropriate times, but considering mom and I have been cooped up in this blizzard-laden house all day, the situation to us is, well, hilarious!
Let me begin ...
Last night, mom, my sister and myself all left the gym together in the same car. As we are leaving the parking lot and making way to the highway, I noticed movement outside and looked to find a tall, fairly young black male trying to open my car door. Now, at first my reaction is, the eff is happening?, but then it sank in, holy hell, he's trying to get in my door! Thank god my mom instilled in her kids to always lock the doors the first thing when you get in your car otherwise, who knows what would have happened! Mom was too busy looking at the traffic and chatting away that once we pulled out, I was like, "Did anybody else see that?!" Thankfully my sister had so I wasn't going crazy!
Now, here's the kicker!
Mom is driving a loaner car given to her from her man-friend to use in bad weather. Just a little while ago, mom and I had run outside to shovel some of the already piling snow and slush. We go in the house to see we have several missed calls from her man friend panic stricken ... Here's the juicy part. Turns out, the man trying to get into my car door had been stealing from the AT&T store right next to the gym and tried getting into our already moving vehicle to use as a GETAWAY CAR! It seems maybe an employee at the store wrote down the license plate number, type of car and color when he saw the guy trying to get in it thinking we were his getaway. Now thinking about it, if the doors weren't locked what would he have done? Grabbed me and tossed me to the cement forcing my mom to drive to the safe house with my sister in the back seat?!
The best part is, mom and I go outside to check to make sure the license plates matched and weren't switched and then we head back to the house to discover we were locked out! So here we are, two sopping females trying to break into a home with a "getaway car" next to us in the driveway!
Now, I know the situation isn't funny, but mom and I are going crazy while the weather outside keeps us barricaded in our house so we find the whole thing damn near hilarious. I think it's best to laugh about it rather than think about what could have transpired!
Now the next few days will be with detectives, police cars and reports! There is never a dull moment in this house ... especially during a blizzard!
