the complex i live in is quite large. it is composed of 6 semi circles of 3 buildings each, arranged in a U. In the middle of each U is a patch of grass. The patch of grass on the circle I live on is where the kids from all 6 Us seem to come to play. It is a vibrant, active place. i have witnessed all sorts of hilarity outside my window thanks to these children.
1. the other day i came home to see two girls taking apart a fan. the pieces of this fan were then used to make a lot of noise.
2. i see 2 or 3 girls piled high on a bike almost daily
3. one day the kids crumpled water bottles and placed them between the fender (?) and tire of their bikes so that when they pedaled it made a sound that reminded me of a tiny motorcycle starting its engine.
4. just his week the children have found a new toy. it is an OLD exercise bike with arm handles that move. sometimes there is one child on the seat working the foot pedals and another working the arm handles because the machine is far too big for them.
Never a dull moment from my living room window.
