“What is that smell?” a female voice yelled form the other side of the tall fence
A woman with curly red hair wearing a pair of spectacles poked her head over the fence.
“Just perfect” Julie grumbled
Gladys was a friendly charming woman, but she was the dictionary definition of a nosy neighbor. She made it her business to try and find out everything that was going on in the neighborhood And her gossiping skills spread the news to everyone before the day was up. Some kids believed she worked for the CIA. While other kids believed that she was a Russian counterspy who sold information.
Julie tried her best to be friendly, and she usually succeeded, but she couldn’t stand her neighbors’ need to poke her nose where it didn’t belong.
“I think a septic tank must’ve broken open somewhere” Julie lied
Gladys groaned “You’d think they’d take better care around here” she said “I mean really, that stench is positively nauseating”
Julie blushed in embarrassment as she watched her neighbor go back into her house.
“That was close” Julie thought
She hung the laundry out to dry and went back inside.
