You Might Live In Our Neighborhood If...

*When you realize you don't have electricity or water, you walk outside and throw your hands up, only to see all your neighbors up and down the street do the same.

*Your child has handed out raw cookie dough from the box in a garage down the street while you were on the phone.

*Your kids refer to the empty lot down the street as "Jack's Dirt."

*You can locate your kids based on which house has the most scooters and bikes thrown in front.

*You have loaded up in a truck with several of your neighbors to go get FEMA ice and water.

*You don't find it unusual to yell, "Slow down!" at passing cars.

*You sit in lawn chairs in your neighbor's driveway to wait for the fire department to come to her house to check out a gas leak. (Looking back, this does not seem too wise.)

Can't wait to hear about the gas leak.
