So I officially became an old man today...

This actually happened today, and I officially became an old man.

I spent a lot of the afternoon replacing a heater/vent/light in the master bathroom upstairs. At one point, I asked my wife where our daughter was. She said that she had gone to the Pelicans playoff game with a friend. I asked if the daughter took her car; wife replied she didn't know. So I peeked through the master bedroom blinds at our driveway and our little dead-end street.

I saw that daughter's car was not there, but I also saw a young man, high school or college age, standing in the MIDDLE of our front yard holding a big black dog on a leash. The kid was busy looking at his phone, oblivious to the fact that his dog was sniffing around our grass and bedding plants, apparently looking for a place to do his business.

So, I raised the miniblinds, pounded on the window, and yelled out,

"GET OFF MY LAWN!!"

He looked up, startled, and not sure if he heard me or could read my lips, but he took off right away back down our little dead-end street.

It wasn't until after he left that I realized what I had actually said.
