Please address all mail to Scout and Jem.

The children next door play in our front yard almost every day - and on our front porch - and it's all rather charming. But they don't quite seem to understand the concept of home ownership and residency.

Grumpy has heard the kiddies loudly whisper to each other as he has walked past a window, "I saw Grumpy in there!"

They often seem baffled, and a little nervous, to see us emerge from indoors. But will gladly accept offers of cordial drinks and other sweet, sticky enticements, poor deluded creatures.

Grumpy is considering sticking a "Not to be confused with Boo Radley" advisory on the front door.
