Shocking Realisation
I realised recently that my neighbours (not only next-door, but all the ones who live in the condo)-well some, anyway, are a bit dysfunctional. They like to...erm...bring their kids to frolick at the playground. At night. Ten plus, close to eleven. Sometimes even later than that. I've seen it twice or maybe thrice already. Last night, I was coming back from the chalet. It was like ten fifty pm. I was approaching the playground and then when I looked up I saw a woman. I got pretty freaked out...why would a woman be down at the playground at this hour? I thought to myself: oh shit have i, "at long last", got to see things that i shouldn't see? She looked, well, real, though. I froze for a moment or two, and took a few steps back, intending to go the other way (without walking through the playground) to my block. Just to be safe. Then I saw that there was a kid beside her, and she was teaching her how to play hopscotch. And then there was a kid's bike near the bench in front of the playground. So I was sorta convinced that they are real people, and I continued walking through the playground to my block. This isn't the first time...the last time there was this family of three or four...all down at the playground, watching their kid(s) play. I mean, why do they like to let their kids play at like so late at night??? Maybe they have no time to let their kid play in the day 'cos they're working, but isn't it slightly weird to let ur kid play in the semi-darkness?
