Entry # 11 Carol 9

She came close to the scene, but, the officers send her away fast. “Stay away! Don’t come any closer.” Even though she said she knew Lourdes, they send her off. Then Ana called Luis Ernesto, my oldest brother. “Hey! Two officers have Lourdes outside her house with her arms up! They think Hannibal has broken into the house and have hostages and want to rob Lourdes’ money! Come here quick and try to help!”
Those types of events, extraordinary, can only occur at my grandparent’s house. It was amazing what a big coincidence everything had been. I mean, what are the probabilities for two officers to misinterpret my grandma’s words the way they did? What are the chances that that happened to Lourdes, the most paranoid and sweet lady on Earth? It was incredible to see how the event had turned out. I mean, who could imagine? What were the chances that Ana Judith was walking by at that precise moment? This is a true story, I did not make it up, I do not have a creative mind as my grandpa Carol.
This event is so rare and funny that it reminds me of a comedy show called ‘Seinfeld’. I’m a lover of ‘Seinfeld’. The show is wonderfully funny because of how unique, odd, weird, and particular each character is. They all have a particularity and crazy customs. They are all maniacs. They always create confusions with a simple thing that happened, all characters get involved in the confusion and it makes a big mess.
There was another situation involving police officers and my grandma. This time, my mother was involved as well. At the entrance of my grandparent’s there are two parking lot spaces. There is a small roof over the parking spaces. When it rains, pedestrians walking near their house decide to stop and rest below the roof to avoid getting wet.
One day, two police officers were driving their bike and it was raining, they decided to rest under my grandparent’s entrance roof. A little later, my mother was going to visit my grandma and was parking her car at the parking space below the roof, beside the two officers. Simultaneously as my ma’ stepped out of the car; Lourdes opened her house door and saw two officers looking at my mother as she stepped out of the car. Lourdes and her creative paranoid mind imagined the officers were there to interrogate my mother or to put a ticket or something of that type.
“What did she do officers?” Lourdes asked, and before the officers could answer, my mother answered: “They’re taking me ma’, can you believe it?” Lourdes is the most innocent creature on Earth, and she bought my mother’s story. Lourdes got on her knees and begged the officers not to take my mother. “No! Officers please don’t take her, I swear she is a good lady, don’t take her, I will take care of her if it is necessary!”
The officers were pretty confused with the entire situation and how Lourdes had made a big deal out of nothing. In the other hand, my mother couldn’t avoid letting out a huge laugh. A nervous laugh.
