Weird Story from Last Weekend

I can’t believe this one slipped my mind.

I was at my parents’ home last week for my dad’s birthday. We watched the Browns lose to the Eagles, had some burgers and some birthday cake. Then I left.

I was about a mile down the road, when my brother calls me on my cell. He is still at the house. Apparently, some lady stopped by in her car asking for me. This is especially weird because I haven’t lived there for over three years and she happened to stop by when I was actually there. She went on to say to my brother, “We have reason to believe Craig is going to vote for John Kerry.”

No, really. That is what she said from her car in front of my parents house, inexplicably.

Who the hell is she? Who is this “we” that she was talking about? How did she have “reason to believe” assuming I don’t know who the eff she is? On top of all that, despite any voting decisions that I have or have not made this year, I am registered as a Republican. How did she get my address at my parents’ house? I wish I had been there to really figure out what was going on.

Anyway, the end of the story is that my brother effing hates people butting into politics. When he told the lady I wasn’t there, she said to him, “Ok, well how about you, who are you voting for?”

The wrong thing to say to my brother. No matter who she was, he was going to say the opposite and being fond of confrontation, the way that he is, he basically told her to go eff herself.

I hope it wasn’t someone that I know.

But, it still baffles me. And even moreso because it is a mystery that probably will never be solved.
