This kind of sums it up

OK. So, tonight I was on my way out of my house headed for my car when I noticed a man, who I had not seen before, walking across my lawn from my neighbor's in the direction of Kevin.  I walked over and the guy said "Are you his mother?", nodding toward Kevin. Despite the fact that I had no idea what was coming, and I was reasonably certain that he wasn't going to praise me for the fine job I had done raising such a nice young man, I said "Yes, I am."

Well, it seems that there had been an altercation between Kevin and "E" from next door.  This guy told me that he had seen it and that "E" had been the aggressor and was completely to blame, but that "E" had told him that Kevin had been saying bad things about his brother and mother all summer long.

I had a moment of panic, knowing that some not very kind things are said about our neighbors by me in our home that Kevin undoubtedly overhears.  However, when I asked Kevin if he had ever said anything bad about "E"'s mother he replied with, "I don't even know which one is his mother!"

For anyone reading this who knows the situation at my neighbors (9 adults, 9 children with a combined 3 mothers and 6 fathers), this is pretty funny.
