As fellow players in the great unwritten drama of the Lightner family, it is only fair that I should introduce The Neighbors (at least some of them) in Their Own Words.
Paula: I don't start fights. I end them.
Ashanti: Heeeyyy, girl!
Melvin: Butter.
Donna: I'm gay.
Lance: If you can't have a good day, have a great one.
Leonidas: I'm gonna KEEEL you!
Tyrone: (silence) Regal wave. (Tyrone, being deaf, is a man of few words.)
Unnamed neighbor woman: Chris? Chris? Chris? Chris? CHRIIIIS? CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS?
Sedrah: No.
Ibtisam: I'm a little bit ok.
Other important players, though they lack speaking roles, include Coke, the one-eyed Chihuahua, DeShawn's treed basketball, The Man With The Black Cadillac, and the various F-15s who call the St. Louis airspace home.
So glad I have met a few of the players, especially Coke and the treed b-ball. Please tell Melvin and Tyron hello for me. Chalk might help. And a hug to your army friend with the two girls, mesh and all !!
