nosey neighbor (me)
Noseying on the left
A few weeks ago Candy1 was taken handcuffed from her home by police, strapped into an ambulance. I don’t know why. She seemed perky enough when I talked to her a few days later.
Candy’s husband knocked on my door at midnight to explain they were burgled last week while at work when they left their back door physically open to enable the cats free access.
Noseying on the right
Sipping lemonade in the shade on my stoop. In a neat line four people filed by to view the empty home to my right. Realtor lead the march. Middle-aged mom scurried behind her. Middle-aged dad strode with perky terrier in arms. Gangly late-teen swept the rear. I smiled saying “Hello” trying to catch the eye of each passing person. Maybe the parents didn’t hear me. Gangly did. He gave me a gigantic smile, raised his eyebrows, flashed a glance at his biddies, then smiled back at me while waggling his eyebrows again. This silent acknowledgement of his parents ignoring my greeting was funny, generous and clever. He can live next door.
