There are many benefits of living along the Gulf Coast, and one of them is the short time frame of warm but not yet scorching temperatures during March and April. It's those fleeting days when you can leave your doors and windows open all day long, enjoying the fresh breeze and lack of sweaty armpits all at the same time.
However.
When your two sons begin play wrestling and yelling back and forth as loudly as they can, "No face farting!" and "I just farted!" and "I just farted and it STINKS!", you begin to wonder what your neighbors think of you.
Maybe open windows aren't so great after all, no matter how beautiful the weather. There is no way to be your every day uncouth self yet still keep up appearances to outsiders.
Right now, no one lives on either side of our house. But one house will have occupants soon, and I really think they're going to regret moving next to us.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that this was the perfect time to leave the windows open ... *phew*!
