An Apple a Day - Keeps the New Neighbors Away

We live in a row of 4 townhomes. We're #3. #4 is vacant. J, never one to let a study opportunity pass him by, went to vacant #4 last night to study while I got the kids ready for bed. He finishes up about 9:30pm. He walks out and sees "me" at the far end of the sidewalk, talking on my cell phone. He takes his apple core and chucks it at "me." Cuz, you know - that's normal to throw apple cores at your spouse. At least its normal at my house. Anyway, he hits "me" and "I" turned around. It wasn't me. It was the new neighbor that just moved into #1. She's only lived here for one week. We haven't even officially met her family. And, J just threw an apple at her. He apologized and turned bright red (serves him right) and then ran into our place. He finds me, minding my own business, sitting at the computer. Needless to say, I am fully embarrassed after I hear about his apple assault. We had fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, so I sent him over there with a plate, to apologize again.

Seriously - I would love to be a fly on our new neighbor's wall to see what they think about us. Well, maybe I'd rather not know . . . . . .
