The Bertro.

Her son's friends used to come over all the time for like sleepovers and hang out at the

house and slowly they have started to realize that the kids aren't hanging out at their

house anymore and she's just figured out why.

So I'm texting with a friend the other day who's got a 16 year old son and we're just

catching up and she mentioned, she started to mention you, Kristen, in the text conversation.

She says, I heard Kristen talking about how our house has become the neighborhood house

that all the kids come to hang out.

Our house was that way up until about a year ago.

That's your house is that house now?

Yeah, everybody.

I mean, we don't want them inside the house, but outside is great.

Yeah.

Our home is kind of like literally in the middle of all the other houses with the kids.

So everybody just kind of congregates in our large flat front yard and that's where all

the kids play.

It's kind of cool.

I don't know my parents didn't want any kids in the house, including their own.

So it wasn't that, but you remember my former house, not the one I'm in now, sort of became

that and it was awesome.

It was.

Like watching everybody in the front yard.
