In Which I Am Brusque
Guy at Door: Hi…
Me: Politics or selling something?
Guy at Door: Ummm…politics.
Me: Democrat or Republican.
Guy at Door: Well, Democrat, but…
Me: Do you want money or just for me to sign something?
Guy at Door: Well, both…
Me: I’m not giving you money but I might sign something. Let me see it.
Guy at Door: Here. Ummm…people are giving what they can.
Me: Umm. (Sign petition affirming that, yes, I think global warming is a bad thing.) Good luck. (Close door.)
Stumble it!

Wow, it sounds like you have a lot of people who come to your door. I don’t want to jinx myself, but that isn’t so common here. I don’t know what I would do if a stranger came to my door. I might just hide inside and pretend not to be there…is that bad?

Good dialogue by the way!

That was awesome!
I shall have to remember that exchange and pull it out as needed.

I love this. I feel like printing it out and putting it next to the front door.

Blunt, no, never….
Funny, that’s how I talk to all the idiots that come to our door. They always seem to show up at dinner time and/or when M is in the middle of losing her mind.

Ah, I wish I could be that blunt and do it that well.

You are hillarious

You are awesome. Wanna come and scare away the Mormon Elders that keep asking to do chores for me? Even 3 half naked screaming children won’t deter them. I wonder if one half naked screaming mother will? That I have not tried yet…. No your way is much better.
