son "detained"

[Mitzi]

Oh, man.....Last night, David and his friends decided to pay back a kid who had waylaid him and some friends of his with supersoaker guns a few weeks ago. Anyway, they dress all in black and sneak up on this guys house. Well, some neighbors saw them and panicked and called the police. By the time police got there, they had the guy out of his house and they were all having a grand old time with these supersoakers. He was laughing as hard as they were even tho they had taped his hands behind his back.
Enter the non-smiling police. They stayed behind the doors of their cruisers and made them drop the supersoakers then walked up on them.
I WISH I had been there. I really do. They told them that a supersoaker can look like any gun, especially that time of night and questioned why they had their friend all taped up.
They detained them for awhile then let them go calling them, "Knuckleheads". They are!

Glad everything worked out OK. We do get a lot of calls for kids with paint ball guns and dressed in camos. Sometimes things are not as they appear, but you don't know until you check them out.

Kinda reminds me of when I was in college back east. We used to have a competition called "Supersoaker War." Basically, you are assigned a name of another competitor. Your goal is to seek that person out and "soak" him/her first before getting soaked by your "predator." Once accomplished, you take that person's target over. The game would continue until the last two people standing are hunting each other. It was not uncommon to see roving "gangs" of students carrying supersoakers to class, work, practice, etc. Basically, everyone joined up. Lots of fun...
