School kid prank

[paul burrell]

This post reminds me of years past when my Son and his buddies decided to clobber their school principals mailbox. When I found out I made my son go with me to the principals house, fess up to Her and install a new mailbox. You have never seen such a hang dog young boy. He complained his buddies would not help and I told him His buddies were the responsibility of their father and he was my responsibility and He was to fix the box regardless. He did. Years later after he was out of school and making his way in life with his family I asked Him one day if he had destroyed any mailboxes lately. He kinda smiled and said no, no Daddy and I am not going to.

He grew up to be a fine upstanding citizen and family Man.
