Why do I have to be the one…
… to ask the neighbor kids to stop hanging on the tree in our yard and breaking the young branches off?
… to ask the neighbor kids to quit playing IN THE STREET and yelling at cars?*
… to ask the neighbor kids to stop scratching on the back of the large residential mailbox with sticks?
I am not a parent. So, parents, ANYONE in fact, please call me out if there is any reason why I should just let these kids do their own thing.
I just wonder… why do their parents not worry about them playing in the street? Or defacing public property? Or ruining our already pathetic looking neighborhood trees?
Why do I have to be the neighborhood bitch?**
*One time, Steven bribed them to get out of the street by giving them fresh cookies.
**We’ve had to ask these particular neighbors, and others, unfortunately, to please turn down the loud music they blast out of their open garages in the middle of the night.
