I came home today to find this upon my doorstep.
Now I must admit to some serious trepidation, as I'm not entirely sure how to process the creepy particulars of such a premeditated decorative invasion, if only to mention that upon reflection I do recall seeing a gaggle of 20-somethings roaming about the neighborhood with what appeared to be literature before my departure this afternoon. In fact, upon further reflection I believe there was a mysterious van parked outside in front of my house as well.
So okay, I guess I'll get The Kid on the 25th. However, I have a few questions. For instance:
The 25th of what? Of December? Of August?
Are we even referring to a specific day within a specific month and if so will I need to be home when The Kid arrives?
Will The Kid need accommodations? If so, for how long? More important, will The Kid have all the appropriate shots and vaccinations so as to remain sterile and less than a spewing vessel of viral plague?
Will The Kid be traveling alone or will The Kid have a companion?
Will I need to collect The Kid--'get The Kid'--from the airport or the bus station? I guess what I'm asking is this: will The Kid need a lift?
What do we mean by "get." "Get" The Kid as in I'll be given The Kid? Or "get" The Kid as in I'll be required to retrieve The Kid? Although it seems entirely clear that someone somewhere will be getting something at some point--particularly on or within the 25th of something--the message itself is a bit remiss with regard to efficient details so as to allow The Kid a seamless arrival.
I have a sudden urge to barricade myself into my home. I'm just sayin'.

UPDATE: "A Kid" did indeed show on Christmas Day, however whether or not it was "The Kid" in question remains to be seen. It could all be a terrible coincidence.

That's just bizarre.
Maybe they're trying to start a new religion.
Or maybe you're an amnesiac, and this is your ex-husband telling you that you get custody of your child for Christmas weekend. Better make up the guest bed.
Geez, that's freaky. Are they convinced that you've been chosen for immaculate conception or something?! What did you do with the nativity scene?
Be safe.
Go Get in your Room!
Interesting tactics: Not really the carrot or the stick, just vaguely creepy.

Maybe they ran out of magazines from which to cut enough letters for further details about The Kid.

Great. Does this mean I need to send back my cases of WWJD bracelets for WWTKD bracelets?
Did you get "The Kid" and if so was he (I assume) in an unharmed, properly diapered, non-sacreligious condition?

ok, just to help clarify...
Kid(s) may refer to:
*human children or young people;
*the quality of being young(er), as in kid brother
*young goats, their meat, or leather made from their hides.
*Christopher "Kid" Reid (* 1964), American actor, comedian, and former rapper;
* Kid Cudi, an American rapper from Cleveland, Ohio;
and this is just a partial list!!
So, I am dying to know, did you get a child, a little brother, a goat, goat meat, goat purse, or a rapper? WOW
Hope all is well!!!:)
Go Easy,
