Nick\u2019s daily ritual of building snowmen on his own lawn became a lesson in boundaries after<\/p>\n
a neighbor repeatedly drove over them. Despite polite requests, Mr. Streeter dismissed the issue, saying,<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just snow,\u201d and insisting, \u201cTell your kid not to build where cars go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The destruction continued, leaving Nick hurt and frustrated.<\/p>\n
When another snowman was crushed, Nick calmly said, \u201cI have a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
He built his next snowman beside a fire hydrant\u2014still on their property.<\/p>\n
As expected, the neighbor cut across the lawn again,<\/p>\n
slammed into the hydrant, and triggered a geyser of water and fines.<\/p>\n
Confronted, the facts were clear: the neighbor was driving on private property.<\/p>\n
Afterward, he never crossed the grass again.<\/p>\n
Nick kept building snowmen all winter. None were hit.<\/p>\n
As his parent realized, \u201cSome people don\u2019t respect boundaries because you ask nicely\u2026<\/p>\n
