The doorbell rings. It’s our neighbor Kevin.
“Was a package for me delivered here by mistake?”
I’m beyond relieved. “Nope. Haven’t seen it.”
Kevin’s eyes widen. His wife’s not that tiny either.

I rip open the Amazon package like it’s my fifth birthday even though I only ordered detergent, towels and cat food. What? A fishing rod? Looks like my husband finally purchased his own for the annual neighborhood fishing trip. A European, virgin hair toupee? Oh no Henry. Not a toupee. A vibrating toy for women and a lacy negligee that’s too tiny for me. Not Henry! I collapse.
The doorbell rings. It’s our neighbor Kevin. “Was a package for me delivered here by mistake?” I’m beyond relieved. “Nope. Haven’t seen it.” Kevin’s eyes widen. His wife’s not that tiny either.

This could absolutely happen in my neighborhood with the amount of packages and slimy behavior. I could sell tickets. Great story!
