Tim liked to think he was above “keeping up with the Joneses.” But his smarmy neighbor, Ken, had a way of pushing his buttons. Drive down the street and you’d have a hard time distinguishing their two houses. That’s because if Tim painted the front door red, Ken painted his door red. If Tim planted Azalea bushes, Ken planted Azalea bushes.
One time, Ken came out just as Tim was finishing up watering the lawn. Tim often filled the sprayer with beer, because it made the grass exceptionally lush. Naturally, he used the cheapest brew he could find, but Ken didn’t have to know that. The next day, Tim came home to find Ken dousing his lawn with Duvel. Score: 1-0, Tim.
Today as Tim and Michelle stepped out for their Saturday morning walk with Ella and Jake (Olivia was engrossed in her book report on Pteromyini), Ken was outside polishing up his new “toy” with a cloth diaper.
“Hey Tim! Dig the new wheels?”
“Uh… sure, Ken. Looks great.”
“Yeah, just brought this beauty home last night. Thinking of taking her out for a spin.”
“Cool, cool. Well have fun.”
“Got her for a heck of a deal. And let me tell you, this baby is fully-loaded. She’s got a 3-position adjustable foot rest, a 5-point safety harness, single-foot brake system and a universal infant car seat adaptor.”
“Yep. Looks like a nice stroller, Ken. Ok, see ya.”
“It’s also got a large shopping basket on the back. I see you’re still driving that old umbrella stroller. Your umbrella stroller have a shopping basket on back, Tim?”
“You know it doesn’t, Ken.”
“How about an over-sized extendable canopy?”
“Nope. No canopy either.”
“Huh. That’s a shame. You know, you could borrow this one if you want. Wouldn’t want little Ella there to get too much sun.”
“She’s good, Ken. Got her little sun hat. Thanks for the offer, though.”
“Well, you know, just thought it would be the neighborly thing to do, helping out the less fortunate and all.”
At that, Tim turned and started after Ken, but Michelle grabbed his arm before he could get too far.
“Tim, honey, you know he’s just trying to get the best of you. Just let it go, OK?”
Tim knew Michelle was right. He didn’t want to give Ken the satisfaction of knowing he had gotten to him. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t Google the Hauck Malibu 12 when they got back from their walk. You know, just to look.
