Rewind to 7 months ago, first encounter with one of our backyard neighbors:
Nancy (name has been changed): What a cute adorable baby.
Lyle (with family on a walk around the block): Thank you.
Nancy: Blah, blah, blah.
Lyle: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Fast forward to last week at 7:30 am at my home...

Nancy: Your children keep throwing red lava rocks into my yard and it's gotta stop. My pup ingested one last night. That can be a very expensive vet bill if he should develope any complications and I'm not going to be the one to pay it. It's gotta stop.
Lyle: We don't have red lava rocks in our yard.
Nancy: I've seen your kids throw them.
Lyle: We don't have red lava rocks anywhere on our property.
Nancy: Your neighbors that used to live next door were always asking your kids to stop throwing rocks.
Lyle: They never said a word to me.
Nancy: Well they were always telling them to stop throwing rocks into their yard. It's gotta stop.
Lyle: If my kids were repeatedly doing something and were being asked not to, and our neighbors never came and told me or my wife, then that's stupid on their part.
Nancy: Well it's gotta stop. I'm tired of picking up red lava rocks in my yard.
Lyle: Show me where the red lava rocks are in my yard.
Nancy: You just need to tell your kids to stop throwing rocks. It's gotta stop and if my dog gets sick, that can be a huge bill and I'm not going to pay it.
Lyle: I'll tell my kids to stop throwing red lava rocks.
FYI: Our other neighbor that lives behind us has oodles of red lava rocks under their deck. Problem: Nancy is good friends with the owners of the red lava rocks.
