Last night I took Mom, Dad, Little Lad and Wee Lass for a bit of an excursion. I decided we should take a walk on the PUBLIC, mind you, streets of the rather, ah, exclusive neighborhood behind the Mulligan Compound. Mom was once walking Mulligan in that neighborhood and was informed that she and Mulligan should leave. Now that Mulligan is gone, Mom is not sure if the "you should not be walking here" was directed at both Mom and Mulligan, or just to Mulligan. Mom knows that she should not let some stupid woman's comments bother her, but it got her dander up, and in general she does not walk much in That Neighborhood, with or without Mulligan; despite knowing many very friendly, normal people who live in the neighborhood.

Anyhoo, as soon as our Entourage passed the Clubhouse/Pool/Playground, Wee Lass began to throw a fit. She wanted to go play at the playground. There is a sign at the Clubhouse/Pool/Playground, that it is for "members use only." Mom is certain that MOST of the fine citizens of the neighborhood would not mind if Wee Lass played on the playground. Still, Mom is certain there are a few stinkers (such as THAT Woman) who would prefer that Wee Lass, as a "Non-Member" should not play at the playground.

At my very own corner, the edge of the Mulligan Compound, is a Stop Sign. Ever since the New Neighborhood opened, traffic has tripled past the Mulligan Compound, going to the New Neighborhood, and going through the New Neighborhood, as it provides a short cut. It is quite aggravating how few people stop, or even slow down at the Stop Sign, and indeed the Stop Sign a little further down.

I, Pennie, figured this out. In the New Neighborhood, the Clubhouse/Pool/Playground is for "Members Only." Everyone else should have the courtesy NOT to use those venues.

Obviously, the Members of the New Neighborhood are simply showing US, on our street the same courtesy. The Stop Sign belongs to Our Street, and must be for Our Street Members Only. They are simply being courteous to us by NOT using OUR Stop Sign; just as they expect us to be courteous to them and NOT use THEIR Clubhouse/Pool/Playground.

I personally will walk Wee Lass over to that playground and stand guard while she uses the precious "Members Only" equipment. Let them try to tell me to leave. Fists of Fury, that's what they'll get!

I am sure your family has watched "Over the Hedge".
Your mean woman sounds a lot like Gladys, the evil woman from that movie.
And you know what happened to Gladys. hehehehehe

I'll bring my horse and if it's poop they want, poop we'll give them.

We all have your back Pennie, Wee Lass and Mom.

I'm shy about public downloads so I will not volunteer any excrement for you. However, people tend to cower at the mere sight of me. So, I could join Louie in guarding Wee Lass's play time. THAT Woman doesn't need to know that I will hide behind my Mom's legs at even the slightest noise.......
