Kids Abuse Neighbor's Generosity

Family shocked by ungratefulness of neighborhood children

SALINE, MICHIGAN  NOVEMBER 7, 2004

 

This is an actual letter printed in the November 7, 2004 Ann Arbor News.  It was wedged in between missives about the recent election and other events of interest.

 

It is agreed that this incident is worthy of being published within the Op/Ed page of one of the biggest newspapers in Michigan.  Taking this further, I'd like to suggest the News dispatch a team of journalists to investigate the following events that have occurred in towns across America since the birth of our country:

- Destroyed snowmen

- Toilet-paper-riddled trees

- Smashed pumpkins

- Late night bottle rocketry & M-80s

- Soaped Car Windows

- Flaming bags of poop

- Crushed mailboxes

- Ding, dong, ditches

- Prank phone calls

- Stolen 'For Sale' signs

- Redistribution of formerly raked leaves

- 'Forking' yards
