It’s causing quite the stress for me! For several reasons - one, who wants to move? It's such a task! Two, Kipper tells people it's because we can't pay the bill...(not true) Finally and MOST importantly, how am I ever going to find neighbors like I have now?
So, for my neighbors-to-be I have developed a check list:
I don’t own a
coffee pot, so you will be responsible for making coffee for me in the
morning. I like cream and lots of sugar.
I also never bring my own cup, so you will need to purchase 16 oz. Styrofoam cups.
Because if I take your cup, you will never see it again.
I don’t cook. So
at least four nights a week, my husband will ask me to ask you what you made
for dinner. If he likes it, he will ask me to ask you if he can have some.
We don’t own a
lawn mower so you will be responsible for cutting our grass…oh by the way,
first you have to clear the yard of the million soccer balls, goals and army
men.
When we go out of
town you will be responsible for checking our mail and watching the house.
When I run out of
toilet paper, dog food, or soap I will come over, let myself in and borrow from
you.
You must keep a
large supply of juice boxes at your home for my kids. As well, as cookies,
cheese and ice cream. My kids will grocery shop at your house, no lie!
My kids must be
able to play in your yard…they will not ask permission, and will climb your trees,
hide in the bushes dressed as Ninjas and ride their bike in your front yard.
My son Kipper will
ask twice a week to spend the night…he will also want to take a bath there
since he is spending the night. His decision, not mine.
My kids will
sometimes be rude and ignore you when you come over to our house, or tell you
to go home.
Finally, when my
kids are sick and can’t go to school I will walk them over to your house so
they can in your bed watching TV while I am at work.
If you know of someone or somewhere that fits this description please, let us know. While we sound like a lot to handle, we give just as much as we take. (Except for the cooking part) Just ask GiGi and Paw Paw our current neighbors.
