My Neighbours, I ain’t Judge Judy
I read some where that in order to forgive and forget people for a wrong they have done to you, you must first acknowledge this as a mistake and get over it. The other person is probably not aware of the transgression, so you let them know and forgive and don’t let happen again.
Well, in some cases this proves to be complicated because this person or couple are your neighbors. These people should almost be your best friend because you share the same space on the block or the best antagonist you ever had.
If gets even better when you have two or more neighbours involved and the kids are the source of the problem, for them and as well as you.
So, you have your kids and the neighbors kids and kids will be kids. Yes, kids say the most innocent things and that’s where this gets started. They call each other names, then they call the parents some names and then just swear to get a reaction.
Well, it works because the offended party is over like a flea on a mission and begins to chew me out for something that frankly folks, I don’t give a shit about. Why, because I wasn’t there and I ain’t Judge Judy either. So, my opinion is, it happened in your yard, handle it.Send the kid home!!.
Soon, this gets going forward, so it isn’t about the kids swearing, its about two grown men having a pissing contest. In the mean time the kids are off and playing and not giving a shit about two guys dueling it out, well almost ,about foul language.
Bottom line, keep your kids away for a while and then they will forget until the next time and it will start all over. But, in mean time again, the two men are still pissy and we ignore each other as well. Peace at last.
I didn’t like the nob anyway, so this a bonus for me. But, the kids still play with each other and when they come over I ask them to leave and play in the street, safely of course.
Well, that’s one neighbor taken care of. But, my next story will be about the other neighbor, no kids, what happens when you mis-understand what was been said or meant to be said or who said it. Does it matter?.
