The Poor Car Is Struck Again

The sweet six year old from across the street decided to take a rock to the entire back end of my car the other day. Swirls and x's and big circles and such. He even managed to gouge the window! I may have never known who did it except for the fact that he wrote his name across the bumper. (Yep, he really did) I am frustrated and angry but mostly I am just aghast. I went easy on the poor kid because you could tell by the faces of his parents that he was "IN FOR IT". All the repairs are going to be covered by the hooligans family, so its all good. It was one of those rare moments that I thought about what I wanted to accomplish before I reacted to the situation and I actually kept my cool. Don't kid yourself, I saw myself red cheeked and screaming in my head. If nothing else my children learned a valuable lesson about other peoples property and the consequences of vandalism AND maintaining your cool! . It was just a weird thing to have happen.
