My sister’s family stayed with mine over the holiday weekend. The weather was great so we spent a good deal of time outside playing in the yard. During one of our play sessions, my neighbors decided to get into a verbal spat in front of their house. It was pretty intense at times. My 4 year old niece piped up, “what are they doing?…adults aren’t supposed to fight.” I explained sometimes adults get mad too and don’t always handle it well. I told her it really wasn’t any of our business and we shouldn’t watch. She responded in a relatively loud voice, “I’m trying not to watch but I can’t seem to look away.” It was priceless and so true. My neighbors wrapped up their argument shortly after her comment. I hope they heard her and had the good sense to be embarrassed.
