I'm Honest and Friendly

So, while I was just finishing typing up my last story - mentioning how I feel my neighbor's have improved over the years and now I really like many of them.... I got a phone call from one of them!
I was called by my neighbor, Tony, and he is working right now. He is a younger guy - in his 20's and he is already married to Brianna. They are Mexican, and it seems like they really appreciate family a lot more, and are eager to settle down and start their own families - at least in my limited experience.
So, he's actually a bit younger than I am, probably 8 years, but he is well ahead of me in terms of family and things like that. I am still single and childless, whereas he is married and has 2 little children already. Go him!
Anyway, so he called me just now - his wife had locked herself out of the house. He asked if I would lend her a ladder, so she could find her way inside. I told him I was very happy to help, but that if it's ok with him, I'd prefer to do the climbing and entering myself. It's not that I don't think she COULD do it, but I know I'd prefer to do it. I just hate seeing people get hurt and I know I am used to climbing ladders and I have decent body awareness.

So, I told him I'd head right over - and I grabbed my ladder and put on some shoes and told my dog, "I'll be right back."

She was waiting for me, and was super thankful that I appeared quickly. I noticed she had her two little boys in the minivan already and she was headed to the store. She just locked the keys inside by accident - a pretty common mistake around here. I know I have done it myself already once this week.

That's pretty much it. I climbed in and unlocked the door. Then I put my ladder away and walked back home. She thanked me, and I was glad for it. I mentioned that if she ever needs me that she can just come and hammer on my door - in case she doesn't have her phone or cannot contact her husband. It's always him that calls me and I just want her to know she could ask for help too, and she'll get the same results.

I hope everyone else is having a good day! I enjoyed mine so far.
Very kind of you. ๐Ÿ‘Œ Most guys .... ๐Ÿ˜ž I think maybe he always calls out of respect. Mostly, the women speak to the women, and the men to the men. Just how it is in some cultures. Out of respect and propriety, I guess. ๐Ÿ˜•
