I'm not saying having neighbors is a bad thing. I just wish we didn't have the ones that live next door. The Perfect Family. Where their whole purpose in life is to be better than everyone else.
I knew Norm back when Grimmly and I were younger. Norm did everything perfectly, and all of the teachers were absolutely in love with him. And so did all of our class mates. Normally, I didn't really care, but he was just so annoying! I got passed up for academic awards because he always did better than me.
In fact, I didn't get to shake him until we left for college. That's where I met Lydia. It wasn't love at first sight, but we started off as great friends. Norm was quickly wiped from my mind. I was hoping I would never have to see him again.
But then he and his family moved in next to us. And now I have to live near him. How much more can I take? I have no way of knowing. I can only take solice in the fact that Norm's wife, Lilly, is one terrible person. At least I have Lydia. And my kids.
But honestly, why did we have to be stuck with these guys? Of all the places they could have gone, they just happen to move right next door? With a whole bunch of others who happen to know members of my own family? No, this is too much of a coincidence... I'll have to look further into this...
