When I was a kid, we moved into a brand new constructed home neighborhood. 99% of the people were families with young children (including us). Unfortunately, across the street was the 1% “other”. A very old German couple. We used to play kickball in the street and of course, the ball would go into their yard. They would curse in German and keep the ball until our parents intervened! I swore I would never become like them….but yeah, I am at that age where I do not want kids’ balls in my yard and have them run across my grass to retrieve them. I do NOT, however, curse at them in German or keep their ball. But I finally “get it”. Took over 50 years, but..yeah. Karma’s a bi*ch.
I remember when I was a kid, the backyard butted up with the neighbors, so I supposed we may have overlapped when we were playing outside. I guess they got back at us because my dad put up a fence. He claimed he did that because when we sat down for supper they would sit in their backyard and watch us. (His words, not mine.) I can’t ask him because he is deceased. I suppose could ask my mom if she remembers. :) No longer have the house, but the fence is still up!

Answer it, Dad! The lady is calling to complain about how much of a brat your son is!

can we assume someone was in her yard recently?

If you don’t answer the phone, the next step is her coming over to complain and telling you what your son did!

I don’t see kids playing outside anymore. And this neighborhood has a lot of kids.
