Why are some children just mean? From where I sit at work I can see our office sign at the road. It's a little small sign that cost us a fortune. Every day at 2:38 at little group of kids getting home from school walk through our yard and without fail the littlest boy kicks our sign (really hard). Well, Mike caught him one day and yelled at them. They walked away quickly all dejected looking and grumbling something about hating us but returned and did it again....only now he watches the office door to see if anyone actually saw him. Save up your money because the next time I see him do it I'm running out there and whipping him myself. Then I'm calling the cops. I'll need bail money for myself.Quote of the Day: (The Fire Episode)"Yes, I was the first one out. And yes, I’ve heard "women and children first". But, we do not employ children. We are not a sweatshop, thankfully. And women are equal in the workplace by law. So if I let them out first, I have a lawsuit on my hands."-Michael Scott

Dadgumit! That's why we can't have nice things!

I whip! I go tell them no bother my chica bonita. I get big group together, we bury behind office. You let me know, si? Preguntas? Me no like ninos que bother mi woman.
heehee. What IS it with rude kids that walk home from school or the bus stop? We've had our mailbox flag and a patriotic bow stolen in the past. Grrr...
don't get me started on wreaths, gargoyles, and pumpkins...
Is there any way to wire it up like an electric fence?... just curious...
Whatever happened to turning the other cheek? Go and invite them to church (that ought run em off...)
That's our Rachael! Such a sweet Christian girl!
P.S. I'll just throw out a few words for thought in passing: C4 + proximity detection detonator.
P.S.S. If that's a tad too strong for ya, I'd suggest keeping Zeus and Apollo on staff. I'm sure they are enjoying their retirement from Magnum, PI but could use a little aerobic exercise.
My dad said the little boy came to our church once and acted really bad. I'm not sure if it's the same kid or not but maybe I should tape million dollar bills to the sign.
You should hide behind a tree with the turkey call that Mike has and when he starts to kick the sign, start squawking. That thing scared me and I wasn't even doing something bad.

BTW, did you know Midvale is the name of the town from the movie Rock-a-By Baby, a comedic classic!?
Put this verse from Revelation on your sign: "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, sign kickers and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
[Rev 21:8 NRV (New Richpo Version)]
oh rach, this reminds me of last sun. @ church when we had 'child-dedication sunday'... let's just say one little girl had her mom doing laps around the church while the pastor was trying to talk to them :-) but in your particular case, I recommend a water ballon launcher.
I like Rich's idea with the verse. Just out of curiosity, what's the Greek for "sign-kickers?"
Or maybe you've just gone too far with the "dynamic equivalence" in your translation technique?
SIGN KICKER UPDATE: So far I haven't killed him. His little group of punks have passed the sign several times this week and just kept walking. Now I've just found out why our trash cans have been falling over without even the slightest wind. 2 guys come by in the evenings and kick them over. Now I have a new mission in life......
J,
It's not Greek. I found it in one Aramaic manuscript that only I have. Imagine that!
