Neighbor Nightmare

Thankfully we live in a neighborhood with tons of girls for our girls to play with, most of the street, up and down, is all girls.  During Spring Break, we were outside a lot playing with all the kids.  We camp ourselves in our neighbors front yard for better views on all the kids.  One day as we were sitting there, I see something dart out of our open garage.  I realize that it is one of the neighbor girls running as fast as she could.  It appeared as though she was holding something in her hand and as she got closer to home, she started to scream.  We were completely confused as to what was wrong, so I follow the girl to her house.

When I get there, they say that she is bleeding on her hand and she doesn't know why.  She claims that she was just sitting in a chair and the next thing she knew she was bleeding.  So I leave and head to our garage and there I found it... a discharged Epi Pen.  (My oldest is allergic to nuts so that's why we would have one).  I'm not sure what the girl did with it, but the tip of the needle was completely bent and the medicine was all gone.

Turns out the little girl lied and she and another neighbor girl had been playing with it.  I went back to the house and told the parents so they would know what might happen to her.  In the end, she turned out fine, but we were so scared that they might come back on us for their little girl finding it and playing with it.  Thank the Lord, we got a ring at our door a few nights later and there they were apologizing for the entire incident.  They completely took the blame and punished the girl for lying and being somewhere she shouldn't have been. 

You just never know how people are going to react these days and I am so thankful that this one turned out good.
