You know how people put plastic animals and strange pieces of art in their front yard?  Flamingos are a common lawn ornament.  So are those weird shiny orbs that sit on a pole and reflect light.  Some people like pinwheels...

My Polish neighbors love lawn ornaments.  Their house is directly across the street from mine.  They not only have flamingos, but they have santa clauses, panda bears, and of course, spider man.  Oh, yeah... their panda bear wears a conductor's cap and holds an american flag...

A while ago my dad was visiting my house.  His car was in the driveway and he was in the backyard.  I saw his car rolling down my driveway, without him in it.  The brake must have been off because it traveled all the way across the street, busted through my Polish neighbor's picket fence, and flattened many of their ornaments...

The neighborhood went crazy.  Joseph, the man of the house, came running out accusing me of drinking of driving.  He doesn't speak English and didn't understand that the car rolled by itself accidentally.  People started gathering around to see the commotion.  It was a very eventful day on Webster street... 

I had someone fix the fence right away.  I'm not sure what happened to the ornaments, but I'm guessing they got a proper burial...

So the questions for you are:

1.  Is it typical for Polish people to have lawn ornaments?

2.  Do you have a favorite lawn ornament?

3.  Is there a nice traditional Polish gift I could give to the family to show how sorry I am?
