Leave the stupid rock where it is

From Create Your Own Story

Although you're really tired of the tiny terrors waking you up before dawn, you grit your teeth and decide to let it go, yet another time. They might be the kind of parents who think their little delinquents are actually angels, and you don't want any more neighbour problems than you already have.
