[Rhodes22-list] Oh My God!

[Brad Haslett]

Herb,

It all reminds me of an incident that happened about two weeks ago
(and a similar incident 2 decades ago when my older boys were
youngsters).  One of Fan's friends, a Filipino lady who husband was
making rounds as Doc on a Saturday morning, made the mistake of
leaving her five year-old with me for the morning so they could go
shopping.  I couldn't wait for their car to hit the end of the
driveway.  When they returned, Momma Filipino asked me how "little
shithead" and I got along.  "Oh, just fine, he's a sweet kid".  I'm
assuming he was still too scared to tell mom how I picked him up by
his britches (therefore scrunching what little nuts he had) to have a
'mano-a-mano' talk at eye level.  These gutless wonders who call cops
for silly shit they should handle real time not only amaze me, but
piss me off.

And you wonder why people work two jobs to send their kids to a
private school where they can be kicked out in a heartbeat?
