The Tale of the COOKOOO Indian Woman

Hi guys, I decided that the time has finally come, I have finally recovered completely from my trauma to tell you the Tale of the COOKOOO Indian Woman.
Okay, I was just too lazy to write a whole story.. Now I have to because it's Saturday, I'm sitting in the kitchen in my Pj's and I'm doing absolutely nothing.. haha

One upon a time, in a land EXTREMELY far away lived an Indian woman with her two daughters.
The two daughters grew up and moved away to live their lives and the Indian woman started getting exchange students to keep her company in her oh-so deserted house.
The last 4 students that arrived, two Spanish sisters, one curly haired Italian girl, a French girl and a small Dutch girl, arrived expecting the experience of their lives.
Little did they know that they would get exactly that, but NOT in the way they hoped.
By their arrival they got a two page document stating the rules of the house. This after having removed their shoes as the Woman almost went crazy when she saw that they were going to enter with shoes on.

I'm sitting in the sun and you can see my red haaaaaaaaaaaaiirr!! :D

Then came the time for their first meal together. The Woman said: "I can't really cook, but you girls can find things in the freezer, so you can cook for yourself. We will always eat together at 7pm and I will not make dinner if one one of you is coming to eat."
The girls were shocked by that but but it in the back of their minds because it was their first day and maybe she wasn't being serious. She couldn't be, right?
They got microwave-unfrozen burgers and pasta with ketchup for dinner. They looked at each other and all hoped the same thing: please let this be a one time thing.
As time progressed, they found out that everything at the house was very breakable, besides the house was hot and it was summer and there was only one decent fan. The toilets kept breaking and the woman kept blaming them. After which she always said that they should've just told her so she could call the plumber and get it fixed. Imagine what went through the girl's heads at that point: they were being blamed for something that wasn't their fault and they were at risk of having to pay a large amount of money for something ridiculously unfair.
And then the day came that the shower broke. The Dutch and Italian girl had gone on a trip for the weekend and when they returned they heard the most strange stories.
The toilet was broken once again, with that the shower broke as well and they were not allowed to use the shower downstairs, which basically meant they had NO shower at all.
That same weekend two other girls left the house to go home and they had left the room absolutely filthy. The Woman got mad and started throwing the books that were supporting the bed (yes, you read right) down the stairs. The French girl was taking a shower (in the then still working shower) and when she got out she was going to her room in her towel and the woman made her clean the bathroom and the French girl's own room IN HER TOWEL!
Yes, strange things were happening to the girls in the house.
The Woman kept having discussions with the Italian girl about the fact that she doesn't talk English in the correct way. And it was the EXACT same discussion every time.
It was as if she'd forgotten all about it!
These kinds of incidents kept happening and it started going from annoying to very disturbing.
The girls didn't want to go back to the house anymore in fear of having to talk to the Woman again.
They went multiple times to the organisation responsible for putting them there to get them out, but nothing happened.
Once they were al eating and the girls had decided they wanted to eat hot dogs, so they bought everything, even OFFERED the Woman if she wanted (she said no) and then she just sat there looking at the girls eat and when the Dutch girl said in answer some question: "I'm not very picky about food." and then the Woman decides to "mingle" in the conversation and says: "Yes you are. I make food for you and you want to eat hot dogs while there is turkey in the fridge!" The Ducth girl had always avoided discussion with the Woman, but now it was too much.
She said that she olny got th hot dogs because she was in the mood to eat hot dogs! That nothing was wrong with eating hot dogs when they wanted to!

To make a long story short these discussions lasted until the very minute all the girls left the house. All of the girls except the Dutch one went home, with an experience they wished they never had (at least not of the house, the rest of the memories were THE BEST) and the Dutch girl was transferred to another family. One that was not in a land far far FAR away, but actually a 10 minutes walk! Half an hour before the Dutch girl left she asked the woman if she could look for her bag and the woman got mad because she had been there for one month and never even mentioned it! The girl had to go clean her room again and when she came back downstairs she asked the Woman again: "Could I go look for my bag?" and to her utter surprise the Woman answered: "Why didn't you ask for it earlier?!"

The Dutch girl left the house then, without her bag and moved.
Now she lives in a home where there is food, the people are VERY nice and she can just walk to school instead of having to deal with three buses every day.
And she lived happily ever after :)


This is REAL.
