I donÂ’t even know how to start this post. Something happened tonight that I just didnÂ’t expect tonight and it scared the living daylights out of me. I was in the kitchen getting Clone something to drink when there was a knocking at the front door. Before I had a chance to answer it, Clone ran to the door. He unlocked the deadbolt and let a guy into the house.

The guy was trying to deliver a pizza. We hadnÂ’t ordered a pizza. It didnÂ’t take long to figure out he had the wrong house; he meant to go to the neighbors. After he was on his way I scolded Clone for answering the door and explained that he is NEVER to answer the door, he is to get either Ktreva or myself.

Fortunately this turned out to be nothing, but the thought of him letting some stranger into the house scared the ever-loving shite out of me. I know he has seen Ktreva or I answer the door a thousand times, and was just doing what he thought was right. Even after explaining it to him, I donÂ’t think he understood the gravity of the situation. IÂ’ve been raking my brain thinking of things I could do to prevent this from happening again and IÂ’m coming up with a blank. We have a chain on the door that is high enough he canÂ’t reach it, but that isnÂ’t always the solution. Like tonight, Ktreva was on her way home, and chaining the door would have locked her out of the house. ItÂ’s just not practical to use the chain every time we shut the door.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them. Until then, IÂ’m thinking weÂ’ll just have to suck it up and use the chain. The next time he might let in the local homeless guy that comes around every couple of weeks looking for a hand out. The last thing I want to do is to try and wrestle him out of the house.
