It's time we stand up and insist that young people take responsibility for their actions  Watch out for the Gray Panthers - We rock Baby  |
That's a good idea, unfortunately, I'm not near a pool and she was on Morse Blvd., closer to the Caroline gate. I wish I had at least asked her to pick it up and toss it into my yard, I'd have put it into my recycling bag. I was just so surprised I sort of just went into silent mode.
You're right about confronting the little darlins'.....we had some kids who T P ed our house in CA, the one next door and a couple of other houses. I somehow managed to catch them in the act and went out front while there were still in their creative toilet paper mode. To say they were embarrassed is putting it mildly. They promptly cleaned up our yard and were heading off. I said, "What about those other houses?".....and they quickly got most of the Charmin picked up at the other homes. I brought them a large trash bag for their paper. They weren't bad kids, but toilet paper, macadamia nut trees and Ford F250 trucks don't look good in biodegradable white streamers. Turns out they knew my son and thought it was cute to do.
