ding dong

i was going to take a little nap this afternoon while waiting for jon to call me and say he's on his way home (so i could suggest he pick up pei wei for dinner!), and before i could drift off the doorbell rang.

i considered ignoring it. afterall, no one ever really comes by so it must be someone wanting to sell something.

after it rang again and someone knocked on the door, i went ahead and got up and answered it. there was a young gal at the door wanting to thank me for the haunted house yesterday because she had so much fun. in fact, she told a friend of hers at school today about it who thought it was so cool that she wants to come with her next year.

it was so thoughtful of this girl to come out of her way to give thanks. something i think can be quite lacking in most kids her age and in society in general. and so i praised her for coming and telling me. and i shut the door thinking - i'm glad i got up and answered it.

if you're out and about next halloween, apparently our neighborhood kids highly recommend our haunted house.
