Yes, I know, those kids are also my grandchildren.

I can’t think of one bad thing they’ve done.

Not one.

My grandson, Jake, got picked on in school by a bully who followed him home one day. Jake turned around on his bike and saw him. He said the kid laughed at him and said his bike was “gay”.

I bought him that bike! It was a big red and black Schwinn. He wanted it because it matched his school colors.

My grandson dropped his bike, rushed the kid, and punched his lights out.

That kid was close to 2x the size of Jake.

The next day in school the kid started up again and pushed Jake in the cafeteria. Jake pushed him back. So, my grandson got in-school detention.

That’s the worst trouble he’s been in.

My granddaughter Ella had that incident with the pocket knife in school.
