Day 19 of unemployment

I've got a new obsession, the neighbors.

Across the street from us lives a family that is crazy.  It's a household with a single father and 4 girls all probably under 13, the youngest looks like she could be about 8-10 and they also have a puppy.   

Randomly and sometimes a few times a day we'll hear screaming, crying, yelling, shrieking, and cussing coming from that house.  We only know the name of one of the girls. Her name is Alison. The only reason we know her name is because she seems to be the one that gets yelled at the most. 

For a while since they've had the puppy the most drama was when the puppy would escape.  The girls would run after the puppy and the dad would be yelling from the front door at his girls to get the F'n dog.  One girl would be on her bike trying to herd the dog back into the yard while the others would try chasing the dog.  It was pretty comical.  The dad rarely ever helped and it took quite some time for him to actually go beyond the door to help but he never stopped cussing and yelling at his girls to get the F'n dog. 

Sometimes sibling rivalry would rear it's ugly head and the girls would fight with each other.  Calling each other stupid and fat. 

One time I even saw one of the girls climbing on top of one of their cars. 

Well this past Saturday there was extra screaming all day.  Two of the girls were going nuts and one of them was Alison.  At one point all the girls ran out into the street yelling at each other and one girl hit/slapped Alison in the face. Every single cuss word they knew was being yelled with the F word being their favorite.  The dad was yelling from within the house telling them something.  At one point the two girls looked like they were really going to get into it right in the middle of the street but Alison seemed to just take the punches. 

In the afternoon it seemed like they were coming and going a lot.  Then around 6pm to our surprise and sheer delight there was moving truck in their driveway!   There was also a taxi sitting out in front of their house.  It was all very odd but we aren't convinced that they are totally gone yet.

Today I looked out while I opened the curtains in the bedroom and noticed all of sudden there are two dogs in that yard and neither of them look like their puppy.  Then the taxi  was there and it looked like the dad got out of it went up and pet the dogs and then got back in the taxi and drove it away.

So I wonder if the dad is a taxi driver now?  Are they moving away or did he sell the girls or move them into an insane asylum?  Are the dogs there now to takeover for his missing children?  So confused!
