Kid Haters

Yesterday I was talking with one of my new co-workers and she was telling me about these neighbors she has. They hate kids. They are an old couple, in their 90's, and they hate kids. They have never had kids and they have never wanted them.

I know a lot of people say that. Most just shirk the responsibility of kids, a lot simply don't want to be around them. Some very few truely hate kids. These people are in that catagory.

Here's the proof. First, they keep a rolled up hose out on their front porch and when the kids are heading home, the old lady goes outside and sprays any kid that gets 'too close' to her yard.

They have never allowed one child into their home. Their siblings and friends who have kids stopped coming by a long time ago because they won't allow kids even into the yard. They also always start bitching at anyone who has kids because they don't understand why they have them.

The real proof is this; they put into their wills that when they are gone their house can not be sold to anyone who has kids. If there is a child in the family, the home is not for sale. If the woman is pregnant, she can't move in.

That is some serious kid-hating.

I don't know how that part in the will can ever be enforced, but it does prove their hatred for kids. I am sure I've never even heard of people like that. The whole thing is a little scary.

Momma's, don't let you kids walk past that house. They might end up soaked by the old lady or worse. Who knows what someone like that is capable of?
