Go away. I'm not answering the door. I know you're a kid because I saw the bicycle helmet bob through my front walk. That means you're peddling something, and I don't want to buy. Get the hint and stop ringing and knocking.
In California, a kid ringing the bell is the front man for the gang waiting just out of sight that is going to become a home invasion robbery--often with fatalities if the homeowner opens the door.
If you want to open the door, do so; however, I'm one of those who just doesn't want to see who's there all the time -- so I agree with Liz: GO AWAY!
Seeing as how there is a distinct difference in urgency of knocking when an emergency is occurring, I deemed it to be a kid peddling something.
Of course I would have answered the door if the situation seemed to warrant it.
This happened both days this weekend. I didn't actually see the person on the second day as I was in the back of the house. I've recently been caught by Mormons as well, and I just don't feel like having another conversation with them where they just won't leave.
My house, my choice. If it's that important, they'll leave me a note.

Likely true. Unless perhaps his friend is laying bloodied and bruised somewhere and they need help so he picked a random house. :)

Hi, Just wanted to let you know your front steps are on fire.
Sincerely,
Friendly Kid
