[00:39.84]I reached around the back seat
[00:41.92]and grabbed onto a large flashlight
[00:44.60]that was on the floorboard.
[00:46.96]As this figure walked around to my mom's side of the car
[00:50.79]I held it firmly in my hand.
[00:53.85]The figure was a woman.
[00:55.74]Tall, slender and quite docile¹ it seemed.
[00:59.94]I, however would not be fooled by this act.
[01:03.96]I just knew she was up to something.
[01:07.41]She started to speak to my mom
[01:09.66]and to my surprise she spoke² German!
[01:13.10]My mother is from Germany
[01:16.18]and most of my older siblings³ speak very fluent German.
[01:20.83]I could not understand a word they were saying.
[01:24.16]Yet I still held the flashlight tight!
[01:28.14]Then my mother rolled the window up a ways
[01:32.92]and asked me if I would mind
[01:34.76]giving this woman a ride home.
[01:37.36]Her ride had apparently⁴ not shown
[01:39.84]and she would be stuck out here if we didn't.
[01:43.55]I asked my mom why this lady couldn't call someone else.
[01:47.49]My mom told me
[01:49.40]that this woman had just moved here from Germany
[01:52.58]and they had not yet had their phone turned on.
[01:56.95]I felt this to be very strange
[01:58.85]and said that I really didn't like
[02:00.87]the idea of giving her a ride.
[02:03.99]Mom patted me on the shoulder
[02:06.23]and said it would be all right.
[02:09.05]I insisted that I sit in the backseat then,
[02:12.90]that way I figured that if she pulled something funny
[02:16.33]I would be able to whack⁵ her on the head
