Stanley never answered a doorbell naturally and innocently as other people do. He always debated whether it was wise to answer it at all.

Love the quote. Stanley is my kind of person. Are there really people who do not think about whether it is wise to open the door?

The quote today is who answers the phone without thinking given all the robocallers.

  It is easier to hang up a phone if you do not want to talk to whoever is calling than to shut the door on unwanted visitor. That being said, being able to see the number on your phone and make the decision based on that is the best. And not only because of the robocallers.

Never answer the bell. Best advice ever.

  Our new house has a handy peephole in the door. But I have to stand on a chair to see out of it…

“Expecting someone today?”

“No …”

[both of us pull our guns and aim at the door]

[in a whisper] “Be vewwy vewwy quiet, we’re hunting B&E artistes.”

Old city habits do not go away.
