[Flynn's comment: The following blog entry is to make sure the story jives.]
At around 2100pm that night, the next door neighbor, Linda, a divorcee, called Maw about her second husband Juan, who is an illegal immigrant from Honduras. Linda wanted to know the whereabouts of her missing husband. Linda inquired of Maw if I looked out the window upstairs from which ever window to my bedroom that Linda assumed and downstairs to see if I have seen Juan. Maw told her we do NOT waste time snooping at neighbors that we don’t care to get involved.
Linda further went into the conversation of my activities: if Maw is controlling my ins and outs – if I dated – and if she could learn how to investigate the background of the guys, whom I’ve dated in the past. Maw told Linda that she has nothing to do with me or my decisions in life and refused to allow Linda to learn how to operate the computer and find out more about Juan and his background (due to some sort of `Privacy Act`).
Linda then claimed that Juan would appear and reappear out of nowhere and somewhere inside the house. Linda said Juan would sometimes and suddenly open the window to their bedroom because he sleep walks. Linda heard her mother-in-law and Juan giggling together. Linda mentioned how a pair of pants would suddenly disappear.
Of course, Maw, the wise one, would throw the problems back at Linda, asking questions to make Linda come up with answers that really doesn’t make sense. Maw assured Linda that maybe the husband is hiding in the closet or was tucked low beside or under the bed; that the mother-in-law and son are teasing her for being so stupid and that her mother-in-law may have been cleaning up after her son.
Linda was also scolded severely by Maw, who asked Linda if she wanted to live with her mother-in-law AND Juan, who doesn’t have an income and has a disability. For you see [pun here], Juan is blind in one eye. Maw scared Linda about what would happen if Juan went blind in the other eye and if Linda would be responsible for feeding TWO people for free FOREVER.
After a few minutes, Linda rang the doorbell. Maw instructed me to hide upstairs. Maw saw terror in Linda’s eyes. Maw told Linda that the devil is possessing her because Linda allowed FEAR to come inside of her. Then Maw gave Linda holy water and told her to sprinkle some holy water on their bed, Juan’s pillow and on Juan, too. Linda had to ask which prayers to say on her visit tomorrow at Our Lady of Peace in Santa Clara, CA.
