That's a wii-ly big screen
When I stopped by the house for lunch today, I noticed my neighbor's car in her driveway.
I thought that was a little unusual, since she's a partner in a big law firm in town and pulls long hours and seldom comes home during the day.
When I got home from work tonight, her car was parked on the street, along with her husband's, and there were a dozen or so others on the street as well.
I looked down their driveway to see a big, inflatable movie screen going up.
"That's nice," I thought. "It must be their little girl's birthday party."
That's why she was home during the day today. And that's why all the cars.
After we got the kids in bed, Wife and I went outside to throw the frisbee for a few minutes.
I noticed that more cars were parked on the street, but I didn't hear any kids frolicking.
And we all know how kids love to frolic.
Another neighbor came down the sidewalk with his little girl and stopped to peek at the big movie screen. He walked down to where we were and told us what was going on.
There were no kids. There was no birthday party.
Just a big group of adults.
