I Guess It Would Go Along With My Suddenly Working Car Alarm

Remember the survey I took about the smoke detectors in my house? The man who had called me told me I would be entered into a contest to win a $1200 home security system for participating in his survey.

The other day the phone rang and my sister answered it.  She handed me the phone and I figured it was work because they’re the only ones who ever call me on the home phone.  I say ‘hello?’ and a lady tells me I won a $1200 security system for participating in a smoke alarm survey.  It was either due to the luck I occasionally possess (where was it two weeks ago when I was at LeakyCon and entered a drawing to win a whole set of autographed J.K. Rowling books?) or perhaps I was the only one who actually took that survey.

I told the lady to hold on a second and I asked my mom if she wanted the security system.  She laughed and said no.  I told the lady to draw someone else’s name as I am a college student who does not own a house.
