WELL, SUMMER'S here and I just have one question for all of you parents. Do you know where you kids are? I bet you don't because I know where your kids are. They're in my yard playing and they didn't even ask permission. They're annoying the neighbors and you don't know about it because you sitting inside and watching television. If I get mad enough, I guess I'll call the cops but I really wish it didn't have to come to that. Don't ask your kids where they're going to play. They won't tell you. Ask your neighbors.
