Lord Of The Flies

It hasn't all been bad times at the compound. I actually play a game with her called "Close the Door". The game goes like this: The enters our house and doesn't close the door behind her. After a few minutes I have to close the door behind her. Now I am not talking about leaving the door a little ajar. She leaves the door wide open, letting flies and other creepy crawlers the opportunity to enter our home.

Flies are the main thing. I hate flies. They buzz about and no food or drink are safe from them landing on it. The house that she lives in is full of flies. They leave the door wide open. I am pretty sure the door is wide open now. Wait here, I'll go check. Yup wide open. I went to the other house last week to use their bathroom and there was a cluster of flies buzzing about their house. She can't figure out why they have so many flies in the house. Her research into fly habits has led her to believe the reason they have so many flies in the house.....is because of the tree in the back yard.

We had (operative word is had) a nice, majestic tree in out back yard. It was some sort of berry tree. If I had to guess maybe black berries. Now when you have a fruit tree of any kind and you don't tend to it the fruit grows, dies and falls on the ground. The rotting fruit attracts flies. Our backyard was full of flies. Every once and a while she'd rake up the dead fruit but she didn't do it regular enough. She decided that a more drastic measure needed to be taken. A handyman was hired and in one day the tree went from majestic tree to piece of wood sticking out of the ground. Every branch was cut from the tree. The once shady area we had in the backyard is now gone. It's as if a guy decides he doesn't want anymore kids and cuts his dick off as a result.

However she continues to leave the door open and still can't figure out why their house has so many flies in it. Yesterday while washing dishes I look into the back yard and see her trying to pull up a bush that is by their door out of the ground by hand. No tools. No knife or hedge clippers. Just using her hands. She may have been trying to push the house for the results she was getting. After thirty minutes of pulling she decides to break off the branches. There are now four sharp pieces of wood sticking out of the ground where a nice little bush was present.

So I know a lot of people think I am making this all up so I've included photographic evidence.

The remains of the Bush.

Door still wide open.

Sad tree.
