THePe?ky^feiqhhorMrs. Petrosky was a friendlyperson, who usually enjoyed thecompany of friends andneighbors. She would have friends in Ifor meals, playing cards, or just to watch a video. Her seven-year-old son Jason was just as friendly. Every day after school he would have some ofhis friends come over to play in his backyard or in his room, which was loaded with Legos, videogames/ action figures, and puzzles. It was a child's paradise, and all the neighborhood kids lovedto play with Jason.
One day a new neighbor moved in next door. Mrs. Petrosky was quick to invite the family over fora cookout. They had hot dogs, macaroni salad, and potato chips. The new neighbors, theWaIters,had a four. year.old son named Patrick. "Mrs. Petrosky/' said Patrick, "you make the best hot dogsin the world. " Patrick had a cute impish face, with carrot red hair and blue-green eyes. Mrs.Petrosky liked him instantly even though he was a little young for her son Jason to play with. Inthe next few weeks Patrick kept showing up on Mrs. Petrosky's doorstep asking for water, to usethe bathroom/ or if she could spare a cookie. At first Mrs. Petrosky went along with Patrick'srequests, but it soon became more than a little annoying-especially, when he kept asking to playin Jason's room, even though Jason was at school.
It got so bad that Mrs. Petrosky tried to avoid Patrick by not answering the door when heknocked. Patrick would then ring the doorbell in such an annoying way and for such a long timethat Mrs. Petrosky would have to go out and ask him to go home. That only worked for a shorttime and Patrick would be back.
Eventually/ Patrick started coming over and looking in the windows to see if Mrs. Petrosky washome. In the kitchen, where Mrs. Petrosky had ruffled curtains along the bottom of the window,Jason would jump up again and again to see if he could spot Mrs. Petrosky. It would have beencomical if it had not been so irritating. He looked just like an excited little Chihuahua yelping toget in. This had to stop. Mrs. Petrosky decided to make bottom curtains for the whole house thatwould reach as high as the kitchen curtains with another four inches to keep Patrick from seeingin when he jumped.
She made the curtains and it worked for a few days. "At last, I'll be in peace/' smirked Mrs.Petrosky, until she noticed Patrick running through her yard with a small wooden footstool inhand.
