My oldest son, was born on Halloween. My wife decided, on his 8th birthday, to have a birthday/Halloween party at our house. What a mistake. Somewhere between 15 and 18 kids,7 to 9 years old, all on sugar highs.(to this day, I don't know how many there were, as they all ran around so fast, I couldn't count them!)Some how, half way thru this ''party''(experience from hell), I was the only adult in the basement watching these little heathans. Since I had hidden the dart board, and checked around for any other sharp objects, and cordoned off my reloading area, I thought, what the heck, let them run around and make noise. In less than 5 minute's, my blood pressure doubled. 3 boys were having a wrestling match on the concrete floor, 3 others, including my 4 year old at the time, were haveing race's around the pool table, when one of them cracked his head on the corner,(I think it knocked some sense into him, as he slowed down some. When it finally got to a crescendo, and my nice voice left me. An extremely loud version of,''Hey you little bastards, knock it off!!'' came out of me. All the kids came to a complete stop, one little boy looked like he was going to pee his costume, and within 3 seconds, my wife and 2 mothers came running down the stairs. My wife asked me if everything was all right. I looked around and said, it is now. Grabbed a beer out of the 'frig, took the dogs, and went outside and sat at the picnic table. When the party broke up, one of the mothers came over to me and apologized, and said, if her son ever caused any problems, she'd take care of the matter.(butt whipen time is what she said) And one of the other mothers, just gave me an evil stare as she left.(I raised my bottle of beer,2nd one, and told her to have a nice night)
Teddy, look at it this way. You probably did those kids a favor. Their going to find out sooner or later, life isn't always sugar and spice. And as far as the mother/aunt goes, they are always going to look at those boys as their baby's. And your just giving them a little of life's experience's. Their not going to be around all the time, to protect their little one's. Either that, or their going to grow up and become Democrats. gypsyman
