Perfectly Pleasant
I lived next door to this lovely family. Everything was perfectly pleasant until one day the mother’s brother came to live with them. This uncle would be a total jerk, and actually blew cigarette smoke in my kids’ faces when they were over there playing. But one day Uncle Fester comes over to our house.
He has a favor to ask. Apparently, his friend is about to get out of prison, and he’s going to come to stay with them for a little while until he gets back on his feet. They don’t have any room to put him up in their house, so he wants us to let his buddy pitch a tent in our backyard and spend his nights there.
When I let him know that this was in no way okay with us, he responds, “You know, your yard is so big… He could probably do it anyway and you wouldn’t even know.” I let him know that I would prosecute him for trespassing if I found that he had. HotKarl27
