Do kids knock on your door then run and hide from you when you open the door to see who it is?

No. Once at my old apartment, the neighbor kids pulled the building fire alarm, and everyone was outside waiting for someone to shut it off. Otherwise, they weren’t real pranksters. That was the only incident.

I don't think kids put their digital devices down long enough to do that kind of stuff anymore.

No, but they must be trying to play games with you, try inviting them in for a soda?

only if they get past the punji sticks.
