Funny story....

Last night Andrew put on one of the DVDs he got for Christmas. It was a thriller called The Dream House. Kristian, Andrew and I sat down to watch it. It was a bout a family, a man and his wife and two small girls,  who had moved into their dream home.  One of his girls kept seeing a man at the window. They had all the usual effects of the wind blowing, tree branches hitting the window,  the scary music playing, the darkness and shadows making it even more scary. Apparently a family had been murdered in the house....

Well, after about 15 minutes of this scary stuff I decided I had had enough. My imagination is too wild and I knew I would be too scared to be here alone if I saw such a movie. After all we are now living in our dream house, and we are now living on the ground floor. Easy access to windows and all! So I decided I wasn´t going to watch anymore.

I said I was going to the bedroom to sit. Off course Kristian and Andrew were having a laugh at this and giving me a hard time. They kept saying "I wouldn´t do that, you are better off in here with us, it´s safer in here." "You never know who is watching you mum." They were scarying me even more. 

But off I went to the bedroom. I pulled down our blind and just as I got it pulled to the bottom someone knocked on my window. I nearly wet myself!! I ran out of that bedroom and into the living room, quicker than you can say "Jack Robinson!". I was scared out of my wits. 

Now if I had not seen the start of the movie I would not have been scared. You see many times Laura, my neighbour, will knock my window at night while I am sitting at my desk in my bedroom, She likes to brush her teeth outside and if my blind is up she knocks the window and we have a chat and say goodnight! 

After a few seconds my senses were working again and I knew it was only Laura. So I went back into the bedroom and pulled up the blind. There was no one there. Meanwhile Laura had gone down to the front door, she thought I had gone there to open it for her.  She had seen me pull down the blind and she wanted to return my car keys, as she had borrowed the car. 

When I didn´t come to the door she walked back to the window. 

Meanwhile Leah and I stood looking out the window. We couldn´t see anyone, then suddenly there was a face there. It was Laura, but I was so freaked out from the film that I nearly jumped out of my skin and screamed, Leah did the same! We both grabbed each other and stood looking at Laura - screaming. What a laugh. Laura was so shocked and was trying desperately to calm us down through the window. We laughed sooo much! Took me a while to recover. 

Kristian and Andrew had a great laugh at us!

No more scary movies for me!!! Not even 15 minutes of them!
