- HEY MR. WILLLLLLSON!! -

well, this' our dad [today he was known as mr wilson...you know, from dennis the menice?]
`
i was over at their house for a bit today & they were telling me that new neighbors were moving in this afternoon - they'd heard it was a young couple with 2 children [a toddler & a baby]
`
well, while we were sitting at the kitchen table, we heard a car drive up the alley [where the moving truck sits in the picture above, as the truck wasn't there at the time] - the lady [new neighbor] in the car, was pulling into her driveway & we were being nosey at the window & watching [you know, like gladys kravitz on bewitched...pictured below]she pulled into her driveway, all the way up to her garage door & then it was like she changed her mind & wanted to scoot her car over & into the other garage bay area - she threw it into reverse & i swear, never looked behind her at all!! - i was saying, "dad, she's heading for your fence...dad, she's not stopping...dad, she just HIT your fence!!"
`
well, by that time dad went outside [keep in mind, 'mr. wilson's' got a hot head, sometimes a VERY hot head, but over the years he's gotten sooooo much better with it, but it still gets him sometimes, as it does with all of us...please keep this thought in mind as you continue reading]
`
alright, so mr. wilson headed outside as gladys kravitz [myself] & madisyn were watching from the kitchen windows - you might ask why we didn't want to go outside with him, but think about it, we didn't want to seem rude or anything as they were new neighbors, we'd rather spy on them!!
`
dad came back in [aggravated] & i asked what happened - he said, "well, i went out there & as the lady & her dad [the grandpa] was getting the kids out of the car, i said, "hey, did you know you hit my fence?" - she said, "oh, i thought i hit the pole beside it, i didn't know i hit your fence" [there was a utility pole there as well, but it didn't get hit] - all the while she was saying this, 'grandpa' was shaking dad's fence as if to say, "has it REALLY been hit?" - dad finally said, "stop shakin' it, you're making it worse!"
`
she then looked up to dad & instead of apologizing or asking if they could help fix it or whatever, she said, "well, hello, i'm your new neighbor lisa [smiling cheesy]...& you are???????" [raising her eyebrows]
`
dad's reply..."i'm MAD!" [& gave the same cheesy smile] - after this, dad went on to fix his fence as they literally stood inches from him [i'm NOT joking either!], watching him work & not offering to help him at all
`
oh, to have them living next to each other will surely bring some great blog material!!!!
