I was cutting the grass in the backyard. There's a gang of kids that live down the street, seriously there is like 15 of them. They all hang out at one house where the parents are always drunk on the porch or nowhere to be found.
Anyway, three of them are walking past my house and started grabbing broken up asphalt and throwing the pieces in the dumpsters of this building behind my house. I have been through this before with them but just never said anything. I felt so old. Two of the kids froze up and got the hell out of there, but the one started talking back. It's so crazy- I used to do the same shit (but worse than throwing rocks...) and here I am cutting the grass, yelling "Hey you punks git outta my yard!" type shit at them. Funny how the tables have turned.

ok seriously, my husband and i are always laughing about this, especially when a kids ball lands in our yard and the kid asks us if he can come in to get it. when did we become intimidating to little ones??

I see little punks all the time being loud and obnoxious and I think what a bunch of little shits. Then I realize I was that little shit and even worse.
Indeed it's funny how the tables turn.

Best thing to do is grab one of them, toss 'em in a sack, and smack it against a tree a few times. Make sure the others watch. They'll think twice about messing with the sanctity of your lawn and it's peripherals.

i used to ransack the neighborhood - we got our hands on the anarchists cookbook when the internet came out and we were set on building bombs and causing mischief.
the suburbs breed trouble in the summer afternoons, when the cats away the mice will play. and other phrases us old people use.

I wasn't a horrible kid though. I had my moments, but I wonder if all good kids hate bad kids all the time and it doesn't change.
- I know some are envious, but that's not how I felt before.Jaline
- the bad kids hate you.tasty
- I know some of them wanted my parents...Jaline
- Just like I wanted theirs! You know how it works. I wanted my parents to be less strict and they wanted the opposite.Jaline
- Is that remorse?philipdrumman
- Anyway, I wasn't a great kid all the time, so let's move on.Jaline

Wait a minute: they were picking up broken asphalt and throwing it away in a dumpster? And you're complaining because why?????
You should be talking them - free community cleanup and your tax dollars didn't even have to pay for it.
You crazy.
- when it goes BOOM in the dumpster...awesome.tasty

I was online looking up ways to keep my grass green, with fugazi playing in the background... I realized that this is a pretty strange point in the aging process.
