We had a mysterious neighbor while I was growing up.
We never saw him, the mailman never delivered anything, no headlights ever turned into the driveway, lights were never on in the house. Nothing. A lawn service came once a month and took care of the grounds, and, somehow, the house always seemed to be in good upkeep.
This fact disturbed my father more than any of us, and on the day that we found out that the house had always been occupied, he was the most troubled. As he contemplated aloud during dinner that night, Its like being 45 and discovering that the Easter Bunny happens to moonlight as your accountant.
Of course this didnt make sense to any of us, but we could all empathize with his shock that we actually had a neighbor.
Here's to shocking discoveries...
