Daytime Break-in
[as transcribed by Daddy]
We had something of a disturbingly exciting day today - it all happened in the late afternoon. I was downstairs playing, Mommy was in her room reading, and neither of us realized what had happened until it was all over. Grandpa from emerged from his bedroom over at his place to discover a strange, disoriented woman standing in his hallway, just at the top of the stairs. He called for Gammy, who called the police... the woman (who had apparently used a razor blade to cut open the screen in the window and climbed into the house) blathered something incoherent and left the house via the front door. She left her backpack behind.
Eventually the police arrived and took everyone's statements - the CSI guy came and fingerprinted the place and everything. Apparently our neighbours were robbed late last night in a similar fashion, so nobody's taking chances (Daddy remembers someone trying to open our kitchen door when he was blogging last night). We keep this place compulsively locked up like Fort Knox, so... we're all fine.
It's not every day that someone breaks into your house in the middle of the day, while everyone is home. The police have apparently captured "a person of interest", so we're confident that it's all over (and hopefully our neighbours get their missing stuff back). And also - if the lady who broke in was as troubled and messed-up as we think - well, we hope she gets the help she needs.
Exciting!
