I know what you did last...Monday before dawn

I don't know what to feel...but yesterday i became an "eye-witness" and now i have a certain responsibility to help solve a crime. Sounds exciting! It is...but scary. I didn't know my constant hiccup at midnight would lead me to witness a "robbery".

Here's what happened:

I woke up a lot of times since midnight due to "clogged nose" and constant hiccups. Whenever i am having hiccups i drink lots of water to stop it. I woke up several times to have several gulps of water. Too sleepy so i decided to just bring the whole jar inside my parent's room (where i am currently sleeping...i just don't feel sleeping alone these days) so i would just drank all of it when my hiccup "attacks" again.

Around 3am, just as i was gulping from my glass i heard a loud "thud" as if something heavy fell from our neighbor's second floor balcony. At first i thought it was their dog who unluckily/accidentally fell down. Because years ago, their cute dog came up from their balcony and did an "accidental suicide" (silly dog!). So i thought, they have another silly dog and committed the same stupidity. So i waited for a dog yelping in pain...but i did not hear any. But my three dogs and all the neighbors' dogs were howling! So i turned my head to have a peek at our neighbor's house from my parent's bedroom window and there...I saw two figures carrying something. I told myself...hmmm, probably it's just their housemaid eloping with her boyfriend. Well it happened last year to them...so i thought they are having another "flirty maid". So i just ignored the situation and went back to sleep. I was so sleepy and i hated my hiccup for keeping me awake.

I woke up late because of that...
And when i woke up, i saw my parents talking to our neighbors and there were policemen and the barangay captain and a military (well, our neighbor happens to be a retired general).

I told my snowball (my cat) "Hey, are they not too over reacting?" they can find another maid! Why make a big deal about it?" Just then my mom entered our house and told me "Guess what? Our neighbor was robbed!" I said "really?" and my mom said "yes!" and nobody witnessed the whole thing". I said "oh, they were robbed! i thought it was their housemaid eloping again with her boyfriend."

Now it's my mom's turn to pat my head with a rolled up newspaper and called me "silly!"

So since yesterday, i became a "silly eyewitness."

Exciting!
