Playing with Friends

There is a growing suspicion in my mind that Raccoon is an extrovert. I am waaaaay on the far side of the introvert spectrum, which would explain, well, a lot. We have lived in the same neighborhood (on and off) for six years now, so we know all of the children. They only rarely come out to play. School, homework, and extracurricular activities keep them inside or gone. But tonight was one of those sunny afternoons when everything aligned just right and we had an impromptu game of cops-and-robbers. And now that Raccoon's gotten a little of the social bug out of his system, I get a few minutes of quiet. Definitely a win-win.
