NOT SO NEIGHBORLY by Granny Annie

Louise was always the critic.  She was a nosy neighbor especially when it came to my creations.  We had a big age difference and Louise, the busybody, believed it was her job to correct me on everything. She would hang over the back fence and give a review of my entire life.

It was my day in the workshop. First I had to take a trip to the forest in order to find just what I needed to produce my invention. Every bug that could took a bite out of me that day. Still I was able to remain in the woods until I found what I needed.

I laughingly carried the bundle of limbs, sticks, leaves and moss back to the shop.  Louise viewed me with a questioning eye and made many derogatory comments. I simply smiled and went inside to get to work hammering, sawing, and spraying.Once my creation was almost complete, I inserted a battery and carried the large art piece outside. 

It was a perfect image of Big Foot but wore a sign that said "Louise" and had a little electronic voice box that repeated over and over, "I am a nosy neighbor.  I am a nosy neighbor."  Suddenly Louise disappeared behind the hedge.
