In chapter two, Michele begins by sharing what winter was like in Minnesota. She described, that her father always wanted to be the first house on the block to have their sidewalk shoveled. Next, Michele goes into how her parents "side-stepped" the relaters by looking in the obituaries. This way the families would be more willing to sell the home to their family. After this, she tells a story about how their neighbors had an apple tree in their yard and after conflict, ended up cutting it down and putting in a fence. Following this, Michele talked about "showtime". Her mother shared with her that when people were at the house showing across the street she would bring all of the kids outside, in hopes of showing the neighbors that they were here to stay. Finally shares a story about how a burglar broke into their house, and when they came home, he was still in the house. She went on to describe how instead of calling the police, her mother ran after the him screaming.
