The Mean Neighbor

Dear Rude Neighbor,

I'm sorry that your daughter chased our dog into your yard but that doesn't give you an excuse to use the "d word" in front of my children.  That was the first time their innocent virgin ears had ever heard anyone swear in real life.  And it really affected one of my boys.  He cried to me tonight saying, "he felt bad for the rest of the day" because you don't have a big enough vocabulary to express yourself without using ugly words.  Yes, I know that eventually he would have heard it somewhere but I just wanted to let you know that you were the first to dirty a young mind.  Don't you know that speaking like that makes you sound uneducated and scummy? I would call you an a*!@# but even in my limited vocabulary I can come up with a better description of you.  I hope that next time you choose your words you will have some respect for the little ears around you.

Sincerely,
The Mom that sounds overprotective but really just cares about her children
