Knock at the door today, just as I was serving lunch. Neighbour from three doors up who wanted to talk to me about my activities earlier. Not what you might imagine! Apparently, he'd been offended to see me vacuuming (upstairs, windows shut, so he was going some) as it was a Sunday and he's a Christian.
He's a nice enough bloke a bit of a strange one from time to time, but thoughtful enough. He also fancies himself as a bit of a joker so, I laughed and thanked him for his concern whilst patting my tum, I'm 36 weeks pregnant and said that I had to keep moving or I'd become part of the sofa.
I really thought he might be having a surreptitious dig at DH (who wasn't there when I vacuumed as he'd taken DD(2) swimming and had expressly told me not to do it, but I'm nesting like mad at the minute) for not helping. But it appears that he was serious. I reminded him that I'm an athiest and that I didn't think it ought to bother him, but thanks for his concern etc.
Then at dinner time, another knock (timing is excellent) saying he'd really feel much better if we would come to church with them tonight as he was worried about my unborn baby, even though it's probably too late for DD (WTAF!).
At this point I told him the conversation was over and that we were about to eat. He walked away loudly proclaiming that it wasn't over and that he was going to keep fighting this one.
I'm tired, irritable and probably over reacting, but I'm dreading seeing him again now. I'm a SAHM and he's retired, so we bump into each other fairly often. Don't want to blank him completely, but don't want to engage anymore. Not really in a good place to have a full on theological debate.
AIBU to tell him to mind his own bloody business and leave it at that? Alternatively, WWYD in my position?
