Meet the neighbors!!!

Well I have lived here for 5 months now and I have meet 1 set of neighbors so far. The heavy walkers upstairs. They came down after month 1 to ask if there was anything that bothered me about them living upstairs. I didn't have the heart to say - "could you walk a little quieter" neither of them have taken a ballet class, not that I have, but as Seinfeld so geniusly coined - they are "heavy walkers". But I can deal with that. Honestly now I don't even notice it.

OK - so I get home from work last Thursday at 7pm - now mind you I went to work at 7am. So I am a little tired and want to unwind. I am thinking of what to have for dinner, Peanut butter pasta, salsa on pasta, so Mitzy as you can see by Thursday I didn't have much in the house to eat. Well I change into shorts and I can hear kids screaming - and I am like - "where is this coming from" now I close the blinds in the living room so it doesn't get too hot during the day. I go to the window and low and behold there are 2 boys on the grass in front wrestling and screaming - one has a football the other wants it. Now let me frame the picture for you - the grass in front of this window is only about 3 feet by 5 feet. Its just there as a decoration.
So I let them scream and yell thinking that they are going to shut up soon.
Well at 7:30 when they are still yelling - Timmy has a mini breakdown - goes to the window and NICELY says - "can you take this up to the park" (Mind you we have a park the size of Gillette stadium up the street 2 minutes) The older kid looks at me and says "WHY" I am like - OH NO YOU DIDN'T JUST ASK THAT..... So still patient - I say, "I just got home from work, its 7:30 and play day is over - get away from my window"

I will digress for a minute. If I had asked why to an adult when I was a kid - I would have been hospitalized after. When we grew up - you respected adults.

So they go in their house - which is next door. I am in my kitchen and the front door is open, and I can hear the click, clock of shoes walking on the sidewalk, It must be the mother - and I can hear the kid saying, "Please mom, dont, dont...." So I am ready for the first meeting with the neighbor..... waiting... waiting.... she must have turned around and went home.

The kid must have said something like - they guy next door yelled at us. So she was going to come over and give me a piece of her mind... then he must have changed his story so she didn't come over.

Here are my points -
  1. They have a park they can play in anytime they want
  2. They can scream all they want in front of their house, in the mothers window
  3. They have been home all day - from 7-7 "PLAYING" they had all day to scream and yell
Mitzy, whats the world coming too.... made another friend....
