When I was a kid we lived next to this controlling religious nut job. She came over to our house every other day to complain about my brother and I for doing things any kids would do. She would say we were terrible kids and we said bad words like “butt”. Yes butt.

I had a neighborhood friend we used to wrestle with. One day a girl down the street came over and pantsed him. He cried and went inside. Our crazy neighbor dragged us over to his house by hand to apologize for making him cry. When our friend came out and said we did nothing wrong they told him sorry and just ignored us.

This crazy neighbor spread rumors about our entire family. Said we were bad kids and my parents were terrible. Soon I heard other neighbors talking bad about us.

One day I fell of my bike and hurt my leg really bad and had to limp home with a bloody leg. My neighbor saw me limping and just stared.

This was in snohomish county near Seattle. I’m really happy to be rid of her.
