I'm in the I-never-would-have-answered-the-door camp.<br />Once upon a time, a tornado hit our neighborhood and news crews came round looking for guinea pigs to interview. Three families on my street stepped forward willingly, and the clip actually made it onto the national evening news. And what a bunch of illiterate hillbillies my neighbors seemed! I was never so grateful in my life to have had the good sense to decline an interview!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796409346539226959.post-67898815574423544172009-11-13T23:38:25.491-04:002009-11-13T23:38:25.491-04:00Handled beautifully!Handled beautifully!Annie Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511943107737624183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-796409346539226959.post-56190812679141138552009-11-13T10:48:45.430-04:002009-11-13T10:48:45.430-04:00They came unexpected and unannounced.

That's my record guys!!<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking the time, having your laugh at my expense (which I love BTW) and fessing up to how you look in the morning!!<br /><br />Loved the comments and I think only one said they would do the interview, but only after cleaning up which would have taken me at least an hour based on the state I was in, you can double that when you add in a 3 1/2 year old to watch while doing it!<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing!

We start by staking out innocent people with open garage doors and lights on inside. Then, we ask a simple question and just ask to shoot video. Before you know it, you're the lead story on the 5 o'clock news.<br /><br />It was really interesting to hear your account though... I think my reporters should read it too, so they know what it's like being on the "other side" of an ambush!<br /><br />~Elizabeth<br />http://confessionsfromaworkingmom.blogspot.comConfessions From A Work-At-Home Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537552947779004296noreply@blogger.com
