So you all know FI and I are deaf?
Funny thing is that ever since we moved, we've had FMIL drop by and just barge into the house with FFIL and FI's younger brother. I am always caught off guard when they do that, but we don't have a doorbell (not that it matters). Obviously we cannot hear if somebody knocks the door either. I told FI it may be better if his parents send us a text message before they come so we know when to expect them.
Last week FI's grandparents stopped by and I had no idea until I saw his grandmother peeking into the window, waving at me. I was in the kitchen eating dinner. It was hilarious. No big deal.
Yesterday I decided to lock all of the doors and shut the blinds while I took a shower in our upstairs bathroom (the door has no lock) in case somebody decided to stop by and try to peek into the house or walk into the house.
Well today FI and I were on our couch in the living room upstairs (split level). FI was nodding off and my back was to the stairs leading to the front door. All of sudden FI's grandfather was standing right NEXT to me! FI stared at him, he actually thought he was imaging somebody. His grandparents decided to stop by on their way back home (2 hours away). He must have been knocking and staring into windows before just deciding to walk into the house. I just thought this was soooo funny. Totally caught off guard! Thank god this time I had clothes because on Saturday night I was annoyed by clothes and I stripped down to my underwear and watched TV.
We are thinking about setting up a doorbell that will flash lights whenever somebody rings it. It'll be much efficient. I don't mind his grandparents doing this- they're hilarious and very sweet. But FMIL? No thanks.
