My sisters and I, we have this one common trait. We never respond to people who call out from outside our home. It's like a reflex reaction. If we hear someone calling out from outside, say a male stranger calling out 'Hello' repeatedly, we will try to silent the television (or switch it off) and play dead possum.
We almost never respond. Sometimes, just sometimes, we'll panic and run as silently as possible upstairs to tell our parents about this stranger calling out. I am especially bad. Just a few hours ago, I was lounging around at the lounge area downstairs alone watching a korean tv show. I heard this voice calling out, I stayed still until he gave up. After 15 minutes or so, he did give up.
I should've called my mama or baba to deal with him. I don't know why I did what I did. Basically, it's an ingrained habit that refused to go away. So, if anyone ever come to our place, please do give us some notice as we are the infamous 'ostrich girls' who bury our heads in the ground once a human passes by. Thank you.
