neighbor:
- the people who live in our neighborhood or
- anyone walking by our house or
- any woman or girl at any place he sees dressed in Muslim/Somali-type wear (explanation-the family who lives next door were refugees from Somalia in the 90's).
Henri looking outside our front window, "Hey Mama, there goes my neighbor with my umbrella."
Me: "What? Where?" I walked over to the window, but I didn't see anyone.
Henri: "My neighbor walked over there," pointing to the apartment building across the street.
I looked outside our front door where Henri's umbrella had sat on our front porch drying off after being used in the rain a few days earlier. Sure enough, it was gone.

No way! That is terrible! I can't believe that someone just came up and took Henri's umbrella!!!
Definitely not a terribly "neighborly" thing to do!!! Bummer!
Oh no! The joys of living in the city--it's amazing how quickly your belongings grow legs and walk away.
At least Henri wasn't too devastated to share his things with his "neighbor".
