Being Neighbourly

I love my neighbour, but I can't seem to get even with her.


I gave her the keys to my air-conditioned house while we were out of town last (mega-hot for Washington) summer. When I got home, she had done my dishes and cleaned my carpet...where something unfortunate had happened.

Last week, she watched my 3-year-old ALL DAY.

I made her cinnamon rolls.

She watched my littles while I polyurethaned my porch bench AND brought over dinner.

When will this oneupmanship end? ...of course, they were very good cinnamon rolls....
