I was sitting in a chair, on my drive way, supervising the activities of my six year old sister (Carsyn), reading The Metamorphosis, when all of a sudden I see this old lady walking towards me. She had the crazy eye, and was wearing some strange bathing suit dress thing with some sort of sandwhich in hand. First she asked me if I was Carsyn's mother. After I told her that I was not her mother, she asked me if I was her sister. When I told her that I was her BROTHER, she apologized and said she didn't have her glasses. She proceeded to accomplish what she originally intended to do: give away some of her sandwhich. She explained that she had made it for the firefighters out in Banning, but alas, they didn't come to get it from her. Now stuck in a predicament, she attempted to give me some. What kind of sandwhich it was, I could not tell you. It looked like uncooked meatloaf between two slices of bread. I was trying to be polite, and took the sandwhich, hoping that she would leave. She asked me to taste it, at which point I gave it back to her, and said "Someone else would appreciate it more". Then she mumbled about me not liking it, and shuffled away to the next house. Scariest shit ever.
What frightened me was that this person wasn't a homeless crazy person. She is the grandmother of a kid in the neighborhood that lives a couple houses down.
