You know you live in Texas when...

your single neighbor calls you panicked and says she thinks someone might be in her house.  I have four kids at my house and a baby on my hip.  She has one of our other neighbors over, but wants me to come too.  I've got some pretty cool karate moves, so I join them.  Before we enter the house, our other neighbor (a gentleman) pulls out a 22 handgun and says that we need to be careful and "watch his back" (he was completely serious, too).  My single neighbor says "Oooh, like the movies!".  I love her.  I am thinking this has got to be one of the funniest things ever.  We go through the house, I still have a baby on my hip, and find nothing.  When we are finished, he unloads the gun and walks home.  I think our gentleman neighbor got a thrill from bringing his gun with him and going through a house where a possible intruder may be.  It was the thrill of my day.  I'm really glad we didn't find anything.

So what made her think someone was in her house?

I wish you would've taken your camera along.
