ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus Red, can we go huntin for teens? Grrrrrrr In a word, yes! And they are very young teens, maybe not more than 12. I'm so pissed I could cry. I admit that with the death and desecration of this little ferrel kitty, and the passing of the two doggies tonight, I just feel sad in my heart. I admit that I watched my neighbor's youngest and 4 other girls (including Thing 2) while she went to the store. I admit that these girls acted like the Children of the Corn! (However, I did manage to make one of them cry, and she's a hard nut with a big mouth... Mine's bigger though.) I admit that she was being as hateful as could be to Thing 2, who was handling things fine, but then I heard this girl get snotty with another girl, and I demanded that she come to the living room at once. I admit that she complied and that I asked her (in a voice that most Drill Instructors use, but my Dad was one, so I claim genetic ownership of said voice) what her problem was. She tried to be all "hardcore" and rolled her eyes and wouldn't answer, so I pushed the issue and told her that they were all supposed to be friends and she was treating them 50 different kinds of evil and that it wasn't gonna fly when I was around. She started crying and said that her feelings got hurt by someone and she wanted to hurt them back. I admit that I brought all 5 girls out and we talked about reciprocity and how repaying evil with evil wasn't the way to build a friendship and caused more hurt feelings. I admit that I pulled her next to me, gave her a hug and a kiss on the head, called a truce to all the in-fighting, and told her that I may be tough, but it's for a purpose. She hugged me back. I admit that the tone quickly changed for the rest of the time I watched them and they went to sleep. I admit that my neighbor came home and asked how I kept them quiet enough to go to sleep. I admit that I told her that saying you don't take shit from a kid, and actually not taking shit from a kid, and using it as a learning moment are two different things. These girls know for a certainty that I do not play. But they still gave me a hug good night before they went to bed.
