Girl Who Would Not Quit

Two doors down there lives a six year old girl just desperate for some attention. How does she seek out this attention? Apparently she wanders the neighborhood following people's cats and dogs around until someone talks to her and then, wham, she attaches herself to them, calling on them every day (some times twice a day), and talks and talks and talks. She looks in the back door window and waves with a big smile. She asks if the little baby can come out and play, calls them "so cute" and ignores you while you tell her "she's too young to play with you." And she keeps coming back! She wants you to meet her mom so she can come INSIDE your house. She's very sweet and it breaks your heart to think of telling her to bugger off, so you try being gone from the house when she gets home from school but she just comes back later. You even ask your husband to be mean to her instead of having to do it yourself but he chickens out too. He even suggests you buy curtains for the back door to close from 3pm to 7pm. The time has come to decide: are you mean to a lonely six-year-old girl or do you hide in your own house?
What expression are you wearing right now?

I want to know why this kids parents let her run around the neighborhood. But thats just me.

I love the green outfit one!
And the hairband, or whatever that is, is hilarious.

I got no advice for you. Hard to be mean sometimes, but she'll drive you crazy otherwise. Probably already is, at this point.

Yeah, I want to know why the kid's parents let her run around too. John says he's seen her wandering in people's yards all over the neighborhood.
Today I told her to go home (fairly forcefully - for me). It took her about 5 minutes to leave and she said she'd be back tomorrow.
Kristen, I love the green outfit too. She mostly rips the headband off but it keeps the hair out of her eyes temporarily.
