The comment on the damaged garaged door reminds my of an incident that occurred years ago at my parents home. My mom and I were out running errands and my sister was at the house with her two little kids. My niece and nephew caught 2 of the neighborhood kids writing on the side of my parent's garage with charcoal. They went inside the house and told my sister that AJ and John were doing something very bad outside. [ One of the kids was the sun of our family doctor. The other one was a little heathen who grew up getting in trouble with the law. ] My sister called the Doctor's wife and told her what had happened. Mrs. Hardy brought both boys back to my parent's house. When my mother and I got home we found my sister and Mrs. Hardy standing over both boys while they cleaned the grafitti off of the side of the garage. My mother and I had to fight to keep from laughing because the kids picked the wrong house to mess with. My sister is kind of a take no prisoner type of person. Believe me there was probably no greater punishment for those boys then having to deal with my sister. I don't think that the Doctor's son ever did anything like that again.
