girls, toilet paper, and urine
My, how life gets complicated all of a sudden.
We woke up yesterday morning to find our house TP'd. The house, the trees, the bushes...decorated in toilet paper. The youngster's car...covered in toilet paper and icing...like cake icing, all up in the door handles and smeared across the body.
OK...ha ha...someone was having fun at the youngster's expense. No big deal.
He and I cleaned it up, since I was off for the day due to Marty's birthday. I helped with the toilet paper, but I told him the icing was all his. I wasn't getting into that mess.
When he finished with the icing, he remarked how it stunk. We thought it was just from sitting out the whole time....but no.
The youngster spent the vast majority of the rest of the day playing detective...trying to get whatever information he could from neighborhood kids. He had no idea who would do it or why. As far as he knew, he hadn't crossed anybody...until....
The unofficial kid/parent rumor mill has it this way. There's a girl (isn't it always a girl?) who was "going out" with a guy in the neighborhood. Apparently, she recently dumped him, because the girl now likes the youngster. She hasn't told the youngster this. I got that information from another parent. The youngster does know who did it. He doesn't know why. It was three boys. One he knows as a friend of a friend. then there's the dumpee...he doesn't know very well. the third...another friend of the dumpee...he doesn't know. He knows their names and can recognize them, but they aren't people he's ever socialized with. The nasty smell came from the fact that the friend of a friend took the opportunity to urinate on his car in the icing and toilet paper.
The girl in question told him who did it last night, but she failed to mention why. I overheard him asking her, "Why is it I think when I finally figure out why they did this, your name will be in there somewhere?"
The kid's getting smarter by the day.
addendum: The unofficial kid rumor mill had it wrong. It wasn't the girl after all. One of the kid's house was TP'd earlier in the evening and he thought the youngster did it, so this was retaliation. Unfortunately for us, we paid for someone else's deeds. The culprits were supposedly (again, all updated information comes via the same semi-reliable kid rumor mill that had it wrong before) friends of this kid's older brother. That kid has apologized to the youngster. He wasn't the urinator though. The urinator (the kid's sidekick in the deed) has yet to apologize.
