Last night something really strange happened to me. I was just about to go to bed, when someone knocked on the door. I got really scared, of course, because who knocks on someone’s door at one O'clock in the morning?

Anyway, I ran downstairs and into my parents’ bedroom, to tell them what was going on, because I didn’t want to open the door, and as I passed the front door, I saw someone standing outside, through the blurred glass in the door.

I woke my parents up and they followed me out to the hallway, where the stranger still was standing. I asked who it was and a male voice said: “Ehm, I know this sounds strange, but may I borrow some paper?”

After the man stopped talking, I realized he was naked!

I totally freaked out and said: “Go away! I’m not letting you in or opening the door. You’re naked!”

He shuffled his feet.

“No, I’m not naked. I’m wearing trunks.” He argued half embarrassed and lifted his legs, showing me that he was in fact wearing trunks. But I was still not convinced, because who would be? So I told him to go away, which he did.

My parents and I talked about who he might be or why he was wearing nothing but trunks in the middle of autumn, when it was around 0 to -2 degrees Celsius outside. We figured it was either a crazy person or someone who had taken a dip in our pool or the neighbor’s tub, so my parents went outside to take a look.

My sister and I waited anxiously by the door, as my parents went outside to check. My sister took the whole thing really seriously and armed herself with the bar from a dumbbell, just in case something happened, she explained. Ten minutes later my parents came back and they were laughing. It turned out it was our neighbors’ daughter’s friend, who had knocked on the door. They were playing “truth or dare” and the guy had been dared into knocking on our door. ^^
