Then it struck me: she’s always calling her mom, I could program the number into the phone and get brownie points. Now, we had never used the front door. We had only been in the house for a couple of weeks, and to tell you the truth, I had only entered from the side door where the cars are parked. Well, as I said, I had never used the front door, so I didn’t realize how many locks and chains were on it. Needless to say, it took me a while to get the door open, and when I did there were two policemen standing there – one on the stoop and the other on the sidewalk with his hand near his hip. But as I readied myself for bed a thought struck me: they believed me. That was a pretty lame excuse as far as I was concerned, but they believed me. They didn’t want to come in and check on the place, maybe look in the closets or refrigerator. At least find out that the phone was hung up voluntarily.
