You: There’s a strange car parked in front of our house. The man inside is typing on his iPad. And I saw another strange car this morning when I was working in the yard.
Me: Oooooooh! Maybe we won the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I bet they are about to come to our front door with one of those giant checks for a bazillion dollars.
You: Or maybe you upset someone when you wrote about those apartments on the corner. Someone is casing our house, probably planning to burn it down.
Me: You think?
You: Yes.
Me: Nah… Probably Publisher’s Clearinghouse.
You:ย {insert head shake}
Me:ย {smiling}

I’m the suspicious one, so much so that I’ve approached cars in front of our house and asked them if they needed help or if I should call the police for them.
Julie says
I’m usually the suspicious one at my house! But I’m learning (slowly) to relax ๐
Dot Hatfield says
Someone pointed out that Women are from Venus (named for the goddess of love) and Men are from Mars. And you know what Martians look like!
Love this post!

Thanks Dot!

Me: They’re probably trying to break into my Wi-Fi. I’ll show THEM. {changes password to random 64-character password} {insert maniacal laughter}
Talya Tate Boerner says
Your theory is probably the correct one.
Jennifer says
Bahaahah totally sounds like a convo with my hubby!
Tim says
haha…okay, I agree with John, but I like your positive attitude…and of the two of you, I hope you’re the one who is right…and I’m sure John agrees with me.
Talya Tate Boerner says
I’m sure he does too, Tim. Especially since we never enter the PCH sweepstakes.
Colene says
I’m totally in agreement with Gary that it is someone using your WiFi. However, John could be on the right track! Watch your back Talya!
Bailey K. says
This is so cute and hilarious! Me and my husband are opposite. ๐
Dorothy Johnson says
Funny! The question is did you send in that Publishers Clearing House entry?
Barbara Tate says
Always look on the sunny side.
Jamie says
HA! When we first moved to our house I was a little paranoid about all the people slowing down as they passed our house. I finally realized it MIGHT have something to do with the speed bumps that are right out front. MAYBE ๐
