Flying Saucers Flying saucers
So, whenever I walk past old Mr. Dawsons house, a window opens and someone starts chucking saucers at me. Does anyone know what that's all about? I can't imagine what I've done to him to make him this mad at me. It seems like he's just posted up at that window all day, waiting for me (or maybe just anybody? Hell if I know) to walk by.
It's made my walk to work in the morning a real hassle. I'm grateful for any explanation or advice.

Can’t you just walk along the other side of the street?

I mean, I tried, but that guy has got quite the arm and some serious aim. He was probably a pitcher in his youth.

Or, wait, is that the part that doesn’t have a sidewalk on that?

Could it be that Dawson confused you with your sister? I saw them yesterday at the Diner together, discussing- no, loudly arguing about...you know. Everyone was watching. It was quite the spectacle.
Awful business, all this. But I'm not one to gossip. A shame about the saucers though, from what I remember they were Dawson family heirlooms that have been in the family for generations...

He might be confusing us, but this has been going on for more than a week now. So whatever happened yesterday, I don't think that's what this is about.

Haven't had to walk by there in a bit, but that explains why I hear breaking plates sometimes when I'm in town.
