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.
