The last half dozen posts have said a lot of truth, but have laid the blame on all the wrong people. Who is it that lets their kids go out of the house with 5 1/2 to 6 lbs of prime scrap metal sticking out of every orifice in their body and their pants pockets down around their knees, and a chain drive billfold with a chain bigger than the one I pull start my John Deere A with? I mean come on. Admit it. Sometimes don"t you want to just walk up to one of these gene pool floaters, grab hold of that stud sticking out of his or her chin with your Big Cee Tee brand pliers and start walking toward the parking lot at a spanking good clip just to see how long they can keep up with you? But I digress. That could open up a whole new can of worms. Like my lack of people skills. The other night at a OK Coral restaurant there was a 7 or 8 year old kid behind us and my folks were celebrating their 60th anniversary and this kid was make a lot of noise and acting up in general, and his mommy and daddy had "scolded" him repeatedly and told him to be quiet and all of a sudden it all came back to me how my folks told us once, and that was all that was needed. I turned around in my chair, looked this little throwback right in the eye and said "HEY, knock it off now" and kept looking him in the eye till he thought I was going to fry roast his young cahonies and make him eat them, but the upshot of it was, he was quiet, His folks maybe learned something, I don"t know, and I don"t care, but we had a good meal and my dad and I both about half deaf (from not wearing proper safety hearing protection all those years) continued with our visit. All they need is a little good meaningful guidance and then a swat on the behind when they are about one or two years old and then they know you mean it and you won"t have nearly as much trouble later on, and they can come out of the house when you are on the tractor and will know when you tell them to stay out from under the disc that you mean it. Maybe, Harley
