I turn to see Muzzy standing there with a machine gun and a Yeti. Wait wait wait…. a yeti? I blink a few times and look at him again. Yep, that’s a Yeti. He turns to me and bares his teeth. He opens his mouth.
“Knock knock.” He says. At first I’m confused. “Knock knock.” He says again. Then he leans over and whispers (can Yeti’s whisper?) “You’re s’posed to say ‘who’s there?’”
“Ummm. Who’s there?” I ask quietly.
“Shelby.” He says holding back a laugh.
“Shelby who?” I say.
“Shelby comin’ round the mountain when she comes.” He says and starts laughing hysterically. I force a giggle but that’s all I can muster. “Okay okay.” He says after calming down. “I got another one. This one’s funnier. Knock knock.” He says.
“Who’s there?” I ask.
“Doris.”
“Doris who?”
“The door is locked, that’s why I’m knockin.” I laugh along with him this time and he refrains himself from telling another joke. We stand together silently not knowing what to do. What am I supposed to say to a Yeti?
“Who are you?” I finally ask.

    Well that’s a little odd. I wonder where the yeti came from?
