Hi? Mr. Flavic? Mrs. Flavic? Adam here. I couldn\u2019t get you on your cell? And you said you\u2019d call the house to pick up your messages? So here is one. It\u2019s kind of weird standing here talking to you\u2014to your machine, I guess\u2014and hearing myself at the same time. Really, wow!<\/p>\n
So, anyway, thanks for asking me to house-sit for a week. My mom\u2019s real proud. Said you guys must like living dangerously. But I don\u2019t think a beach vacation is all that dangerous. Between you and me, I think she\u2019s glad to get rid of me for a few days, you know?\u00a0 Not for any bad reason, it\u2019s just she doesn\u2019t like loud parties\u2014know what I mean? An age thing, I guess.<\/p>\n
Whoa! Careful, dude.<\/em><\/p>\n So, anyway, I have a couple of questions? How many cats do you have? I thought you said two, but I\u2019ve just seen a black one. He\u2019s a good mouser, though. Or she. Who knew mice have so much blood in them? That wasn\u2019t my second question, though, this is: Are you sure your smoke detectors are working? No special reason, I was just wondering. Better safe than sorry, my grandma says. And she knows. Oh, and do you have more trash bags? The boxes you left are empty already. Wait, never mind, I\u2019ll pick some up. I found your car keys! Do not stress, my learner\u2019s permit came yesterday! I\u2019ll bet you\u2019re surprised! We forgot to talk about that. It\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n Did you just hear a scream? Like really loud? It\u2019s okay. I think it came from somewhere outside. There\u2019s a lot to think about with a whole house to take care of! Inside, outside. There she goes again! You\u2019ll be home when?<\/p>\n You guys should ask for a street light down here. Awfully dark at night. You could trip on something and break your leg or arm or some other bone if you weren\u2019t really, really careful, just sayin\u2019.<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s a really nice neighborhood! Even the cops are okay. Not great, but I assure you, they are way better than some. So, anyway, you guys just relax and have a good time. Don\u2019t worry about things here. So, when are you coming home?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi? Mr. Flavic? Mrs. Flavic? Adam here. I couldn\u2019t get you on your cell?
