My point proven...

Our townhouse is directly across from the pool. For the past few weeks there have been this group of adolescents boys jumping the fence to swim. They don't live here. Now, I would not have a problem with some kids looking to cool off - except these boys curse like sailors, they spit in the pool, and today one of them urinated in the corner by the lamp, right there with me watching - then two of the boys started fighting. Really going after one another - I hollered for them to stop, they did not - I walked across the drive, and told them to stop - none of the boys looked at me or acknowledged me. When I asked them if they lived in the complex they did not respond - I repeated my question, then the smallest guy finally said; "No." The other boys acted like I was invicible - which I am not - though being invisible would be cool. Imagine all the things you could see and do if no one saw you doing them. You could go to the movies for free everytime, and how many times could you go on Space Mountain at Disneyland without waiting in line - I digress. I said to those boys if I saw them again I would call the police. They never acknowledged me, alright, don't acknowledge me. Show up again and we'll see who gets my attention. Of course now I'll have to stand vigil every night waiting for their retaliation because they know where I live; and it appears no one is paying attention to where they are.  My proven point is this; those boys come after school every day for several weeks, and they swim for several hours. They curse like sailors, act like complete nummy-nuts, disrespect adults, and when an adult does address them they ignore. I don't know the circumstances these young men live in - but if my child was coming home three hours late from school everyday I might notice. If my child acted the way these boys did; I would be ashamed. Again I repeat, the best parents are not necessarily the ones who actually give birth - I feel bad for these boys - I reckon they don't have the best parents. That is sad. Sad for these young men for the road they will have to travel looks long and hard. Not made any the easier if their parents don't care enough to know they get home 3 hours late everyday from school - see these boys will have to come live in my big house, so they can feel love - so they will know they are loved because someone takes the time to notice where they are - time, isn't that what we need to give. Love and time, and they are both free - I'm going to need a really big house!
