I just found my bait pen flattened next my shed. I knew it was my neighbors grandkids, but 1st questioned my own kids and they swore they didn't do it, and I believed them. I hang the flattened pen on the neighbors fence with a sign saying "WHO DID THIS?! "
As I'm mowing the lawn I see the kids who I think did it and questioned them, "did you guys do this" and like it was nothing they said "yup", not even a look of concern in there eye's. I tell them I'm very very angry and to take this to their grandmother. She comes out moments later, tells me she'll pay for it ect.. I said, i don't want the money, I just want to be able to leave stuff out without it getting ruined. She tells me she'll tell their folks, I asked her if she can do what I do to my kids for discipline have them write 100x " I will not destroy others property" , she smiled and said great idea. I know it's old school, but I think it keeps the kids thinking.

This is a great place to vent.
