Which would have sent me to my room in hysterics, the 2 hour wait for home to get home would have been worse than the actual punishment.
Actually, though, it would never have gotten that far, in school they'd have called Mr Rawles, the shop teacher, he was about 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide with not an ounce of fat, and he used an old boat oar as a paddle. He even had one inch holes drilled in it to reduce wind resistance.

My mother would have doled out the necessary punishment and it would have been much worse than a little pepper spray, that can be washed off and not brought up for the rest of your life.

OK, now Meredith is asking the mother WFT is wrong with her for defending the little monster, but in a more tactful way.

I was thinking the same thing. This kid has obviously got it all figured out, he's going to be a little monster and what's his punishment, TV shows and a little celebrity is born. Wonder if Charley Manson was like this as a kid?
I really wonder how this kids home life is, I find it difficult to believe it is normal. If I lived in the kids neighbourhood I would be looking for dead mutilated pets, this kid seems like the poster child for "Serial Killers are us".
