The Kids down the Street are gone

Shortly after Christmas, TKDTS abruptly stopped hanging around here. They stopped playing with GL and BB. GL kept saying, "I need to go play with my friends." He came back once and said they told him to go away. I never found out why. He kept going back to ask them to play, so I went over to ask if he was bothering them. When I knocked on the door, I heard loud arguing inside, but no one would come to the door. I brought GL home. A couple weeks later, I stopped seeing them around the neighborhood. They had been living with relatives. I think they moved out.

Today I saw a blog post about neighborhood kids that made me smile.
