My Neighbors

So yesterday being a snowday, I went outside to build a snow dinosaur with my roommate and witnessed the following:

10.00 am. Two younger children, Boy (B) and Girl (G) come outside from next door. Older Brother (OB) comes out wearing t-shirt, shorts and slippers and smokes a cigarette. OB goes back inside. G and B throw some snow around. OB comes back out with a machete. Yes, a machete. And a plastic tub. OB and B and G begin building ziggurat looking figures with said tub. OB starts shaving down sides of ziggurat with machete while yelling and B and G in Russian. Soon, B and OB start throwing snowballs at each other. OB almost knocks B over with his. B throws one and breaks the basement window. OB begins yelling again in Russian at B. Older Sister (OS) opens upstairs window and looks down. OB and B throw snowballs at her. OS comes outside and they all throw snowballs at each other. Machete lays forgotten next to snow ziggurat.

I wish I had a machete.
