You are hilarious! And I am loving the helpful hints your readers are giving. I especially like the 'try different languages; and the 'running alongside her'. Perhaps try compliments in with your niceties, such as, "I like your bike! Where did you buy it??" Or, "Man! You really know how to pedal!" sing4joy's last blog post..The Price Of A Mom

This has been my life daily for the last 18 months. We do not fit into our neighborhood and once everyone found out that we were not Mormon...they decided we were not worth their time. The head church guy (Bishop or something) came by to find out 'what' we were and then I think there was an announcement in church that they didn't have to talk to us. LOL! My new plan is to make my front yard so beautiful with flowers that they have to look at our house and I am starting a Pink Flamingo collection. Because nothing says..white trash who don't belong here like pink flamingos! Connie's last blog post..Front Yard...Master Plan!

I say you throw a stick through her spokes. After she lands, she'll probably talk to you. Although the lemonade stand is a much NICER approach. cyndy's last blog post..I try to take one day at a time.........

Is she pedaling all the way over from my neighborhood? We're a 30-70 bunch here. 30 percent are nice and wave and smile and act like decent human beings. The remaining 70 percent glare at you, turn their music up really loud, and let their kids run wild in the neighborhood while they throw hillbilly parties.
