A Neighbourly Day In The Neighbourhood

[poliphilo]

The child next door was offered a choice of babysitters. She could have us- her left-hand neighbours- or a cool teenage girl- one of her right-hand neighbours- and she chose us! That's my idea of social success.  If the queen herself had offered me a knighthood I couldn't have been more proud. 

Apparently we let her do whatever she wants. 

This is getting to be a friendly neighbourhood. I go out front to cut the hedge and I get into conversation after conversation. Or maybe it's just me that's friendlier than I used to be.

That's pretty sweet. How long have you been in this new neighborhood?

A surprising number of kids think hanging out with old people is cool. Did you and Ailz go to her or did she go to you?

I've lived in this neighbourhood for over twenty years; it's the neighbours who change.

We went to hers- and she demonstrated her wii for us. I had a go, but just couldn't get the hang of the controls.
