While we were playing UNO there was a knock on the back door. It was Doug - our crazy neighbor. We live in a typical suburban neighborhood. His mother passed away and he inherited the house next to us.
I walked over to the back door and Doug was standing there with a tree saw in his hand. Here is the conversation:
Me: Hi Doug, what can I do for you?
Doug: Can I cut one of your evergreens for a Christmas tree?
Me: What???
Doug: I need a tree and one of your evergreens would be perfect.
Me: No Doug, you cannot cut our evergreens. They are our landscaping. They are not Christmas trees.
Doug: Oh, good thing I asked first.
Me: sigh....
Wife and I were discussing this incident tonight. I have told this story to a few friends who find it unbelievably funny. Life in suburban America.
