Dear Neighbors

Dear Neighbors,

Please instruct your children on the rules of playing in the street.

If a car comes, move.
If a car drives up to you and stops and you are standing in the middle of the road, move.
If a car is trying to pull into the driveway you are playing in and you are standing in the middle, move.
If you are playing in a driveway that is not your own and then finish playing, please pick up your scooter and return it to your own yard.
If your neighbor who does not have (nor does not want) children has the steepest driveway in the cul-de-sac, do not take that as an invitation to race your scooter down the driveway.

Regards,
The neighbor who does not have (nor does not want) children

I would have put said scooter in my garage.

Seriously, the scooter’s yours now. 9/10’s of the law, right? We acquired a basketball this way (after it sat there for a month).
And, really, wouldn’t we all pay money to see you riding said scooter????

I’m pretty sure you’re the mean old man on the street. Every street has “that” guy that the kids are all afraid of but love to torment. lighten up you grumpy old man.

As someone who actually has kids, I have no fear of yelling at them to “get off my lawn!” Or, my driveway. And if it were my kids, they’d be getting the hell out of the way before I ran em over.
I don’t have time to sit around waiting for kids to get out of the way. They get a nice blast of the horn from me.
