Who needs cable?

So since moving to the fabulous psuedo ghetto of Spokane Valley we have discovered a fascinating new past time. And its free! We call it the trashy neighbor show. Our extremely disfuntional upstairs neighbors are going through a divorce. They have two little girls and have decided the best way to deal with things is to drag them through the muck along with them. So every night around 11 the mom and her new boy toy show up to pick up the younger girl, (these poor sisters don't even get to live together any more), and take her home. This usually provokes a screaming match that eventually moves into the parking lot. All of the adults swear and scream and the kids shriek and run and hide from their parents. This is when the free programming begins. We sneakily peak through the slats in our blinds and watch them battle it out. Usually one of us is holding the phone in case we need to call the police and one of us has shoes on in case we have to go get those poor girls (this has happened before.) Sometimes its sad, sometimes quite funny (when the kids aren't involved) Then for the encore the dad goes inside and swears to himself for a while then gets in a good half hour of emotional vacuuming. He must have the cleanest apartment in the complex. Then for a closer when we take out the trash before bed, we get to watch the mom downstairs sit outside and smoke with her teenage sons. One big happy family. So if your thinking your cable bill is a bit too high, just move to a trashier area and bingo free entertainment.
