Here's a story about how our day started.
Scene 1: 7:00 am. Steve, in housecoat, & Sharon, in tank top and lady
pants, at kitchen counter, drinking tea & coffee, reading paper.
7:30 Steve goes to shower.
7:34 Sharon, still reading paper, still inappropriately dressed.
Shower runs in background.
7:35 Door bell rings. Ding Dong
7:35:01 Sharon looks up from paper, looks down at lady pants. Shower
still running
7:35:02 Door bell rings. Ding Dong.
7:35:03 Sharon stares straight ahead, eyes wide open. Shower running
7:35:04 Door bell rings twice. Ding Dong, Ding Dong.
7:35:05 Sharon creeps up to wall at kitchen door, cranes neck around
door jam, hiding inappropriately clad body behind kitchen wall. Sees
person with white hair, blue shirt, most likely male, staring back.
7:35:05 Doorbell rings three times. Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong
7:35:05:01 Sharon pulls head back into kitchen. Frozen. Shower running.
7:36 Phone rings.
7:36:01 Standing at sink, and stretching arm beyond human
capabilities, Sharon answers cordless phone from on top of water cooler.
7:36:02 "hhhhhelllllo???"
"I need to speak to Stephen A-bell"
"Are you standing on my front porch?"
"Yes"
"Why do you need to speak to Stephen?"
"It's the Peel Regional Police Maam - I need to speak
to Stephen A-bell. Is he home?"
"Yes - please stand away from my front door and I'll
get him"
"Maam, what?"
"Would you please move off my front porch and I will
get Stephen for you"
" uuh, alright Maam"
7:37 Sharon cranes head around doorway again to see Officer
walking down steps backwards.
Sharon runs to bedroom - knocks on bathroom door -
"Steve - the police are at the door and they need to speak to you!"
Stephen runs out of bathroom, Sharon grabs housecoat
and both run to front door.
7:38 Bewildered looking police officer climbs back up steps.
"Stephen A-bell?" "You are called to appear in court, on Sept 19th, as
a witness to an accident of October 05."
Officer looks sideways at Sharon. "Oh , sorry, I was
only half dressed and couldn't come to the door."
Stephen says,"Oh, that was when that guy rear-ended
my car on the Gardiner".
Officer "He's been charged with careless
driving." Thank you, thank you, thank you, all around.
7:42 Officer walks to cruiser.
Stephen returns to bathroom.
Sharon returns to kitchen. Installs hook on back of
kitchen door. Hangs up housecoat in kitchen.
For emergency purposes only.
