Neighbors
I'm currently (04/14/2010) looking for the image to this one -- it was something about how neighbors bake extra bread to give to each other or whatever. I don't remember anymore. Stay tuned for possible future pictoral update!
"Well, she is a bit off, isn't she?" Tammy said casually, leaning against the fence.
"I guess." Diane looked vaguely uncomfortable. "I mean, you're her neighbor, not me, so maybe you'd know better; only she seems an all right sort to me. A little quiet, maybe."
Tammy held up one finger. "And it's always the quiet ones," she said meaningfully.
"Er. That do what?"
"Don't know." Tammy shrugged. "That's the problem, you don't know until it's too late. If you even notice the warning signs at all."
"Oh." Diane nodded, hoping she would appear to know more about their conversation than she actually did.
"You know, she brought over bread yesterday?"
"Ah."
Tammy's eyes narrowed, and she nodded, more firmly than Diane had. "Said she'd baked three loaves of it fresh, and wanted to share with the neighbors. She probably took a loaf over to Jim and Mary too, over on the other side of her property."
"Erm. Who would have thought, eh?"
"Exactly!" Tammy smiled widely. "I knew you'd understand."
"I mean, bread and all," Diane added helpfully.
