When Shannon moved in next door, I should have known trouble was coming. First, she painted her house a garish purple, then orange, and finally settled on a shade of blue that made my eyes water. Still, I\u2019m a \u201clive-and-let-live\u201d kind of person\u2014until Shannon started sunbathing in a bikini right outside my 15-year-old son Jake\u2019s window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One morning, Jake came into the kitchen, his face bright red. \u201cMom, can you, um, do something about what\u2019s going on outside my window?\u201d he stammered. Confused, I followed him to his room, and there was Shannon, sprawled out on a leopard-print lounger in a bikini that looked more like a string of sequins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMom, this happens every day! I can\u2019t even open my blinds anymore! Tommy came over to study, and now his mom doesn\u2019t want him coming here again,\u201d Jake groaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a week of watching Jake hide in his own room, I decided to talk to Shannon. I found her outside and tried to be polite. \u201cHey, Shannon! Can we chat? Your sunbathing is right in front of Jake\u2019s window, and he\u2019s 15\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon cut me off with a smirk. \u201cRenee, if your son has issues with seeing a confident woman, maybe invest in better blinds. Or therapy.\u201d And with that, she went back to tanning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of days later, I opened my door to find an old, filthy toilet on my lawn with a sign that read, \u201cFLUSH YOUR OPINION HERE!\u201d Shannon, lounging nearby, grinned. \u201cLike my art installation? It\u2019s called \u2018Modern Suburban Discourse.\u2019 Thought you\u2019d appreciate it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was furious but decided to let karma do its work. Over the next few weeks, Shannon amped up her antics, hosting loud sunbathing parties and starting a chaotic drum circle. But then, one Saturday, karma struck. A fire truck pulled up to my house. Shannon had reported a \u201csewage leak\u201d\u2014referring to the toilet\u2014but the firefighter quickly shut her down, warning her about false reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, Shannon was sunbathing on her garage roof when her sprinkler system malfunctioned. She slipped, landing face-first in her flowerbed. Mrs. Peterson, our other neighbor, watched the whole thing and called out, \u201cTrying to be a rooftop lifeguard, Shannon?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the sunbathing stopped, and the toilet disappeared. Jake peeked out of his blinds. \u201cIs it over?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I smiled. \u201cLooks like it.\u201d Karma had done its job, and our peaceful mornings returned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
