This could go very wrong

August 7, 2008 by Amy

We made our evening visit over to our neighbor’s house. Now our neighbor has quite the sense of humor so it’s hard to tell when he’s being serious but he says, “I’m going to have a party tonight at my house.” I said, “Really? How come?” He said, “Well, it’s raining, those guys are going to be in the shed to try to stay dry.” Nice. He continues to say he had five white guys out there earlier today. Scott and I have been home all day and my office looks out on his backyard. There was no one outside all day. Then he goes on to ask us if we knew if you went to North Carolina and bought a gun, they won’t let you bring it home that day. Oh. my. goodness. Scott makes small talk about the gun and says he wants to see it when he gets it. He says it’s just a small pistol since he just needs to shoot from the house to the shed. He’s sort of laughing at this point so I’m not really sure how much he’s joking. He then says (I think jokingly) that if he shoots him and takes him down, he’ll go out and shoot him again but if he gets back up, he’s going inside and locking the door.

Is it bad that our elderly neighbor’s imaginary friends are more interesting that us?

    This guy sounds dangerous, even without a gun! Any word from social services?

    Nope, haven’t heard anything about the Social Services thing.
    I’m actually scared for Scott to go check back there when he gets the gun. If, in fact, he did get a gun. Who knows if that’s real or not at this point. We already know he has a rifle his wife is hiding from him. So I’m hoping Scott can either get blanks to sneak in there or she’ll hide the pistol as well.
