11. A totally related story
We live in a house, BUT...

my oldest son has one, and only volume: EXTREMELY LOUD!

In the summer, we leave the windows open since we don't have air conditioning. Last summer our next door neighbor ran up to us upon our return from vacation begging us to lether know whenever we were leaving town. Apparently she didn't realize we were gone and arrived at work three hours late three days in a row since she didn't have our son to wake her up.

At a party a few weeks later, both neighbors said they couldn't wait until our kids were older so they could pay them to shovel the walk. I promptly replied they were eligible for free sidewalk shovelling for at least three years as payback for the early morning wakeup calls.

Work with your neighbors, not against them. You may just get something out of the deal.

Later,
JM
