This morning I did something, that I wasn't sure w

This (Saturday) morning, I was sleeing in.
I was really nice & cozy under a sheet, blanket & thick comforter.

Believe it or not, for some odd reason, I was dreaming of
a very old car I used to have.
This car was a Maverick. It's like a poor man's version of
a Mustang, without the pick-up or style.

Anyway, at one point in real life,
this car developed a problem where
it would slip slightly out of gear at inopportune times.

I discovered this one winter morning.
I had started the car to warm it up in my driveway
and went back inside to make a hot cup of chamomile tea
to bring with me.

As I returned to the outside to get in my car,
it was no longer in my driveway.
Oh no, did someone steal my car ?

Then, I remembered it was a Maverick.
Who would steal a Maverick ?

It then occurred to me, that in the distance,
I could hear the car chugging.
The car ended up in my neighbors yard with the nose of it
pressed up against their glass sliding back door.

Now, I can't blame the car for doing this,
there were 2 very attractive young ladies that lived there.

Nonetheless, I ran down to their yard,
hopped in the car, put it in reverese and then drove it off to work.
That was the last time I let the car warm up unsupervised.

Shortly thereafter, I traded the car in on a newer Malibu.
I haven't thought anything about that Maverick in 25 years at least.
I have no idea why I was dreaming about it this morning.
But, in my dream the Maverick was driving off on it's own onto
a highway and I was running after it.

"Ding ! Dong !" No, that's not me.
That's the door bell at 9 am this morning...
waking me up.

So, I go to the front door and 2 Jehova Witnesses are on my front
porch. Well, to be fair, one was fully on the porch,
and her daughter was one foot on the porch and one foot
on the steps coming up to it.

So, I say. "I was sleeping".
The mom says "sorry".

She then reaches into her black bag to reach for a 'Watchtower'
magazine.
This is a publication of their church.
Just before she puts her hand on it, I say "I'm an atheist."

She says, "so you don't believe in God ?!"
I respond with "no, there is no god".

She looks confused and says,
"so when you have problems, you don't pray ?"

I retort with, "ma'am, when my car breaks down, when the lawn needs mowing, or when my dishes pile up, no god is going to make things right. I can only rely on myself to do so."

Silence. She totally looked lost.

"Ma'am I'm going back to sleep.
You and your daughter have a very nice weekend.
I wish you both all the love in the world."

With that I got two big smiles and they turned to head back out
of my property.

I honestly wasn't sure one could ever make a Jehova's Witness speechless.
But, I did it this morning !
