yep, you're right...now days,
1. someone would call the police department and complain
2. I would have to go take a report
3. I would probably have to contact county or district atty depending on how far parents wanted to push
4. Someone would probably go to jail for a practical joke (parents want to teach the other child a lesson, even tho theirs might have done something pretty close last week)
5. I would contact the parents of the child that did the joke and instead of them asking me if they could take care of the problem, (i.e. can we get a switch and take care of this in front of you so someone won't call CPS, and then he/she would be grounded for AWHILE....would get a statement like, "well he is just expressing himself?!?!?! and I can't believe that he even needs to get a ticket?!?!?!"
AND YOU WONDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE "NEXT" GENERATION?
