Okay maybe I’m just new at this ‘neighborhood’ thing but is it normal for the 80 year old couple next door to throw you a big potluck block party in your honor tuesday night welcoming you to the neighborhood? I almost grabbed the box cutter next to me in self defense when they stopped by yesterday to tell us. But then I thought…. maybe they’re selling something. I’ll just have to politely decline the magic healing lotion and make sure not to bring my check book.
But could it be possible our neighbors are just nice? We lived in the same apartment in Hoboken for 3 years and I couldn’t tell you the name of one of our neighbors that lived below or above us. We’ve been here for one week and they’re holding parties in our honor, leaving us fresh produce from their gardens at our door (my first thought… is it poisoned?) and offering up food and emergency supplies during the blackout last week. I’m just waiting for one of them to bring over the NONI juice and start their MLM work. It’s all so bizarre to me.
