I have started running (I know, I am shocked too) and I normally go after dark because 1.) It is the only time I can finally get out of the house and 2.) Less people are out and about to point and laugh at me. ANYWAY, I decided to head out a little earlier last night to get home in time for the Phillies' game and I made several observations as I ran through my neighborhood.
If you want your grass to grow, you must water it. If you want your grass to look like ours, you just let the rain water it.
If we lived just 3 houses down we'd have friendlier neighbors (Our neighbors are also friendly, just slightly weird at the same time).
If you want to be the coolest parents of all time, you let your kid practice his spelling words while playing catch in the front yard.
If you want to spark up a conversation with someone you just make sure to catch them on trash night and talk by your garbage cans at the curb.
If you can't have a "man cave" inside your house, you just make everyone park in the driveway and dedicate your garage to all things manly.
If you want to make your backyard the coolest backyard in the neighborhood, you are wasting your time because everyone plays and visits in the front yard.
If you want to be one of the cool neighborhood kids, you must wear your dance leotard out to play OR own a water gun.
If you are two grown adults and you cannot catch nor throw a ball, you either need to practice in your backyard where no one can see you or return those gloves and get your money back (Honestly, you can't tell me they were having any fun chasing the ball all over the yard).
If you don't want to be judged in your own neighborhood, you should only come out at night like I do =)
Sincerely Yours,
