We live near a kid who is extremely nosy. I mean, EXTREMELY! She thinks nothing of walking right up to adults and asking them what work are you having done on your yard, asks my husband why he is home and not at work, walks up to neighbors she does not even know that have a For Sale sign in their yard and asks them why are they moving and where to, etc.. She also does that to the other kids. I've heard her pepper them like a machine gun with questions about what they did over the weekend, what did they have for dinner, where was your mom going last night, etc. Talking to this kid is like being interrogated. No surprise though as to why she does it, her mother is the nosiest person on the face of the planet and likes to spread people's private business all over town. I'm trying to come up with a nice way of responding to this kids nosy questions, without being all out nasty and without giving her the info she wants. I'll advise my own kids to respond to her the same way. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
