Neighbors

So we have these neighbors that aren't awful, per say, but incredibly awkward. It was pretty clear that they were that way when Grant introduced himself when they first moved in and the lady's response was "oh." Not a great first impression. And her daughter is so poorly neglected that she roams the neighborhood begging for people to pay attention to her. It's really, really sad. One day when we came home, she had a pet degu that she was dragging around in a bucket. A few days later we noticed a tiny little grave in the backyard and haven't seen the degu since.

I'm not entirely sure what the family situation is over there but the mom has this boyfriend that is just...eeew. Every time he drives up, he is blaring some sort of cheesy 90's love song with his windows down. It's like his mating call for her. Without fail, she meets him at his car door and they make out in the driveway, sometimes when he is still in his car. It's totally awkward when we pull in our driveway or open the side door and BAM! There they are, playing tonsil hockey across the fence. It's really not attractive to watch the two go at it. Her poor daughter just watches and occasionally screams, "mom!!" I think it's to help her to remember to come up for air.

I guess it could be worse. They could be drug dealers or thieves. Luckily those neighbors are a few doors further away.
