Yes. The Banging Brood is skipping school again. I know this because the banging and thumping has been going on since 12:30 p.m., and it's almost 1:10 p.m. as of this blog posting.
Now you might think that they're home-schooled. Really? All the home-schooled I've ever heard of lived in houses, not apartments. They came from well-to-do families with a parent (or both parents) disciplining the children.
That's not what we have with the parental unit next door. She's a single mother with a brood of five unruly, undereducated children. She lives in an apartment and she struggles to support her mob of destructive brats.
I'll say this much, if she is working nights as she claimed, she's either deaf to their noises, or she's lying. Knowing that she's a shifty-eyed lying weasel that'll shift blame away from her kids, I wouldn't doubt if she's lying. I doubt she's at home alone with them throughout the day like she claimed.
If those kids were in school like they're supposed to be, I shouldn't hear any thumps, bumps or wall punches. It would be quiet. But that's not the case.
Also during this time period, the Upstairs Stomper (or maybe I should call him "Pedo Joe"), there has been some stomping upstairs. Why call him "Pedo Joe"? Because the neighbor overhead played loud music/TV/whatever during the weekend, and Sunday was when I saw the surly-faced man lead two teens upstairs in my building.
