What happened next

Joanne lives next door to Mia with twin toddlers, and she was only asking for a taller fence. Kids talk. You forgot that. Leo had told the whole barbecue story to her daughter on the swings, sound effects included, while you checked your email on a bench. Joanne didn't argue. She just looked disappointed and walked away with her stroller. By the weekend, the petition had your lie in it as an example. Mia defended you at first, then stopped. Her own mother called to ask why you'd do that. You didn't have a good answer. Most dog bites come from a dog the family already knows, which is exactly why they're so hard to talk about, and so important to report.
