Getting tagged

Are Hood?

Michelle was surprised to find the garage door tagged last week. I was surprised too, since I’d just put out the garbage and hadn’t noticed it myself. The tag was rather unimaginative, and my guess is that it’s the work of some bored teenagers. Just a hunch.

We had to repaint the garage – which could have used it, but wasn’t on the short list of things to do. Before painting, the neighborhood association’s newsletter editors stopped by to chat and to take a picture, and they recognized the tag and weren’t worried.

All in all, I found the experience quite funny. You see, the person who tagged the garage made a typo. Instead of spraying “Our hood,” they sprayed “Are hood.” Its such a beautiful irony that I have to make fun of it on the internet.
