Our one daughter has a bad cough, and has been waking me up a few times since trying to go to bed. After one round of coughing, I heard some loud voices outside, so I start looking out the window. The neighbor a few doors down has a teenage son, and it looks like a bunch of his friends were getting into a white Ford F-150 XTR extended cab. As I kept watching, a bunch of teenagers get into the truck while another waits for the rest of the kids to leave in a second car. The truck starts backing up, while turning - right into our van. The girl waiting yells out to stop - and the guy driving the truck does, just in time - about a foot away from our van. They then proceed to drive off, a few more kids get into the neighbor’s car, and they drive off too.

Stupid kid in the Ford truck needs to learn to drive. It’s not like our van is exactly small or easy to miss. I might have to have a word with the neighbor kid tomorrow about it.

Now my heart is still racing.  And I'm already short on sleep from our list coughing fits.

Oh man. I thought you were going to say your daughter’s cough was more serious. Wow, need to get me panic off.

Glad the van is okay and I hope your daughter’s cough goes soon.

Yeah that took a turn. Glad to hear it didn’t involve a hospital run for kiddo! But hearing neighbors in the middle of the night rarely turns out great around here either.

It seems like this city has gone downhill fast. There’s rampant drug use, constant car prowling, and it’s just getting worse. The mayor is an utter turd, and the courts keep throwing repeat offenders back out so they can do more drugs, steal more stuff, and cause more problems.

As for the cough, she's had it a good two weeks now. Wife and I both have it as well. It's only a matter of time before the other two kids get it.

Here's to hoping. At least I don't have to be up early. But our kids will likely be up at 6:00 am. That's in five hours. :(

What town is that? Sounds like every small town.

One time my 2 year old daughter came into my bedroom and said “there’s a monster outside my window”. I walked her back to her room, explaining that there are no monsters. Once in her room, I hear a strange moaning from outside her window... turns out the neighbor’s girlfriend was drunk and passed out in our yard.

Lethbridge. Also known as Methbridge.  It's seriously insane how much hardcore drug use there is.

Oh boy. Some of things kids say can be downright terrifying.

Our neighbors have a couple teenagers, their friends pull in facing both directions blocking both driveways for pickup and dropoff. One morning we came out to find my dad’s work van smashed in the driver front corner. We found pieces from a silver Mazda, so we think it’s from the Mazda5 seen occasional ly, but don’t have enough proof to do anything about it.

Yeah, the prairies are something else when it comes to drugs.
