Neighborhood Tall Tales

Claire and Lily came inside afternoon yesterday full of stories told by the neighborhood children also playing outside in the leaves. Apparently the "scary man" who lives in the green house on our street puts glue on his grass and when curious children get stuck on the sticky grass he captures them and puts them into packages--to be sent in the mail. I don't remember the scary neighbor story from my childhood to be quite so vibrant.

What was our scary neighbor story?

Ruth and Ralph were kind of scary before we knew them...and we made up rules about the Champange's driveway (and the trespassers of).
