"My dad was talking to our neighbor about what color he should paint the house, and as a joke he said, 'Well, I might as well paint the old one (house) blue!' The neighbor became almost angry and started going off about how that was stupid and he couldn't do that. Well, that’s the story of how I grew up in a blue house."
#12 - I wouldn’t expect my neighbor to help pay for my fence between our yards so he was initially right to tell grandma no.
Maybe, my grandfather told us how he and some friends put the outhouse on top of the guys house and then waited to scare him as he was coming home at night.
Said his father beat him thoroughly and that he would never do it again, but that one time was worth it.
I had the volume low, but just loud enough for my noisy apartment neighbor to hear.
We spoke when I got home........got everything straightened out between us.
On their best behavior afterwards.
Who needs to wear high heels and have the TV on full blast to vacuum a small apartment for hours?
