What To Do?

You may or may not recall, but Bambi* down the street is a pain in the ass.

Not a bully.

Just a pain in the ass.

So far our resident Christian Delight, who can't play on Sundays because it's the Lord's day, has tried to kiss Oldest, laughs when kids miss the ball during neighborhood baseball games, yells about marrying Youngest, and hit her kid sister so hard in the mouth she had to be sent home.

As a child, we'd have been best friends. However, as a Mommy, I'm glad my children roll a different way and want nothing to do with her.

Just recently, I taught them the benefits of ignoring such a creature. Bambi* went away, Mommy's stock shot up thirty percent, and all was happy in our little world.

Then Bambi* and her mother came over yesterday asking if our boys would like a playdate after school today.

"We'd love to have them over," she said.

I have no idea how to handle this.

Maybe go over there and watch them like a hawk? Or should I tell her that my boys are going through a "I only want to play with nice children" phase?

Maybe I should say they're into boys and think girls are yucky? And I'm okay with that until they're at least thirty?

Other ideas include sending them over in yarmulkes - for sure they'll never be invited back.

Tell her we have a Democrat dinner tonight, temple tomorrow night and a witches' coven over the weekend?

I've got eight hours to come up with *something*.
