Let me first tell you how dangerous tubing is with certain individuals. When people have the need for speed and they are amused by being as mean as possible to get someone to fall off the tube, it hurts. Especially the next day. Of course the stellar sunburn I got does not help matters at all. But I have so many bruises on my legs and arms from tubing yesterday, I feel like someone beat the shit out of me. But what is even more fun is drunk tubing. Endless laughs!
So my weekend neighbors have been up for the past week or so. They come and go like I do, so we've never really talked, just waved on our way to wherever. They have a bunch of little girls who have been out in the woods at night screaming endlessly. I want to go hide in the woods and give them a real scare. I came home tonight with groceries and had been in and out of the house several times. While I'm gathering the rest of the bags in my hand, I turn around and here is a girl (maybe 11 or 12) standing not even 2 feet away from me. I'm all the way in the garage so I don't know how she so quietly snuck up on me (maybe she is part Indian), but she startled me. And I think I swore. Actually I'm sure I did. She was asking about the kittens who I was lucky to get rid of 2 days ago. Apparently she had been going into my garage and taking them outside to play with. I wondered in the back of my head how sometimes they would get outside. But she almost cried when I told her I got rid of them. Her dad (whose name I don't remember due to my lack of active listening skills) came over and I made small talk with him briefly. I assumed since it was almost 10pm and the kittens were no longer around that the little girl would follow her dad home. Wrong. She starts following me around in the garage and outside. I would take stuff inside and she would wait in the garage until I came back out. She even offered to help me, which I thought was sweet, but just go home already!
Yes, she did finally leave. And now I am a step ahead on getting to know my neighbors!
