Well that house has always been left alone. Nobody lived in it for years.
A family used to live there. They had a little girl. It was a nice house, but nobody ever picked it up off the market. Gotta wonder what happened there.
Third strike! All week, no recess. You can stay in the classroom with me. And we will be talking to your parents about your behavior.
