Yesterday, the kids from next door came over to bug me. I saw them coming so I sat down on the porch step. The twins ran over to me and started asking questions. The girl, Ashley, stood by the edge of my yard and called over to me, "why do you have flowers?" I tried to respond, but she didn't hear me. We did that again, and she still didn't hear me, so I motioned to her to come over to the porch. She seemed hesitant, so I did it again. She looked over her shoulder, and then walked over. After a few minutes, and many questions, I heard their dad yell, in a voice that suggested his teeth were clenched, "GET OVER HERE!"
Just because they were in my yard.
I could see, if he didn't want the little ones out of their own yard, but it is mostly because he doesn't want them bothering me. Sometimes they do, but not always.
I felt bad for Ashley (not just because I called her over) because FreddienAlex come running over right away, but she's old enough to know better. But she doesn't want to be left out, and follows them. So when their parents yell at them, she has done wrong, but the little ones just run back, forgetting that they were ever there. Yesterday she ran back to her yard, stopped and looked back. She took a few more steps and looked back at me again. She looked like she was trying to decide what had just happened.
