PIZZA????

I just got this call...
Strange voice (from a machine/robot): Hello, this is Francesco from Pizzeria Alberti. Your Pizza will be at your place about 14 minutes later!
me [thinking about who of my funny friends is possibly playing tricks on me]: what pizza???
Strange Voice: Yes. I am sorry. I can't talk to the driver, he is on the way to bring you the Pizza.
me [again]: what pizza??????
S.V.:OK, then the pizza boy will leave it a your place and tell you it is from the neighbor.
me [puzzled and wondering why I am still talking to a machine]: I haven't ordered pizza.
SV: You ordered 3 pizzas, one with >>blahblah, one with blahblah and one with blahblah<<. (I forgot what kind of different things the machine voice said) What is your address?
me: Loreleiring
SV: hmmmm, yes. ok.
me: who placed the order?
SV: ok, byebye.
call ended.

While I was writing the last sentences, my door bell rang. I thought, hopefully this is not the pizza boy hehe.
I first pressed the button to open the main house door and waited for a moment. Nothing happened. After a while I opened my appartment door. The main house door was wide open and there was an orange paper on the floor.



It says: Order for Neumann, 1. Nr. 10 Noodles, 2. a coke and No. 5
Bill: 15,50 €
neighbor recieved the order, please pay the rest.
the rest of the order will be late. Alberti. Loreleiring. 20 min.

My number is not registered in a public register so it must be someone who knows me.
And they just wrote what I said: "Loreleiring". FAULT! If they want to be authentic, they should have written the whole address... plus, they shouldn't change "my order" from about "3 pizzas" into "noodles, a coke and #5".

The handwriting looks like kid's handwriting (two different ones btw) and I am quite sure that a certain girl from my neighborhood and her friend played that trick on me. I know those kids because they used to come to our friday afternoon childrens outreach ministry from church. Those kids are really "poor", their social level is pretty down and even if they come it is very hard to talk to them about God etc. They have such a dirty talk and are mean to each other. We know most of them (especially this girl who I think played that trick) since they're 8 years old (now they're 11 or 12). They tell bad stories about each other, like this girl is lying, that girl use to steal things from others and we actually found (a couple of weeks ago) that some of them were hiding in the church building and waited until the rest were gone... afterwards we were missing some stuff.
If you feel like, please pray for those kids.

That is really bizarre what they did. But I will definitely keep them in my prayers because children who play tricks like that sometimes grow up to be adults who scam people or steal (which apparently they are already doing at the church). Keep reaching out to them. You never know if you might get through to one or both of them.

Ok das ist echt komisch. Bist du sicher, dass es eine Maschine am Tel war? Maschinen antworten normalerweise nicht auf Fragen! =) Kam denn die Pizza irgendwann? =)

Bis morgen! Ich warte am Gleis auf dich...
