me: I got tickets to see Pentatonix this summer!
mom: Exciting! Who are you going with?
me: So far, Kate and Bea. I bought two tickets though so maybe Sarah or someone will want to go.
mom: You should ask your neighbor.
me: HUH?
sidebar --> Pentatonix [and a cappella music in general] is a pretty specific genre, so why would I ask a mostly stranger to a concert with me?
mom: Yeah. You know, just ask him out.
me: I don't even know if I want to be friends with him. Dating would be kind of the ultimate "don't shit where you eat."
mom: Why?
me: BECAUSE WE LIVE NEXT DOOR.
mom: Well, I want more grandkids.
Priorities.
I was picturing that neighbor as an older retired man. Someone who had time to obsess about your uncut grass...
