The guy who answered the door said &#8220;Oh, they live 2 houses down in the house with the bigger palm trees&#8221;. It&#8217;s not like I haven&#8217;t been to this house a bunch of times either. I just couldn&#8217;t tell. Which brings me to the single scariest statues I&#8217;ve ever seen. At the entrance to a housing tract down there are these two statues. A man with a daughter, and a woman with a son. I&#8217;m not going to go on about why I hate these statues, they speak for themselves.
