Ed, I am a senior citizen living on a street where there are no children, just adults in three houses. Every morning I must clean around my property because of the trash left by kids who sit on our porches from midnight to 2 a.m. drinking and talking dirty. Their parents live on the next street, but they tell their kids to go sit on someone else’s porch. I’ve found that talking to these kids or yelling at them does no good. There should be a municipal logo for our houses that say “no children live here,” so the cops can see and put a stop to these late-night shenanigans.

Old and angry

Have you tried shaking your fist at them while growling and trembling? That usually works. —Ed. Note
