I got into a water war with the neighbor kids, 7 to 13 years old. I have the resources and artillery to withstand a few battles, but I'm outmaned to win the war. The problem is they have all day to wait for me to get off work, and they just pummel me when I pull into the driveway. What can I do? Do I draft the parents for backup? Fuck, yeah. This is awesome. Have you guys ever seen the movie The Paper Brigade?

Is that from Disney?

I don't know, but it's like one of those, it's like a late 90s, early 2000s movie.

This kid's on a paper route and there's this old war vet on his route that hates kids.

I think I know you're talking about. And he like, they get into, like shooting each other with paintballs and shit. Or like, I think there's SpaghettiOs is what he shoots him with. And he wins and he finally earns the man's respect. Yeah, I've seen that movie. The Paper Brigade is a sneaky good movie. Anyway, this reminds me of that.

So I'm excited about it.

I love that movie as a kid.

Huh.

Okay, so the question was, what can he do to just be more prepared?

Yeah, should he draft the parents are backup, the neighborhood parents?

Yeah, I don't, I think the war is not you, the parents versus the kid it's you versus the kid if you

if you call in more adult help for backup you're kind of admitting defeat like I can't take you

kids on my own yeah what you can do is ask your parents how far you're allowed to take this war

because you are an adult you can't you have access to a lot more shit than these children do.

So you just got to have a sit down with the parents be like, hey, can I spray these children

with like a fire hose?

Like how far am I allowed to take this water war with your kids?

Yeah.

And then you send a decoy in the driveway.

And then you come and get them when they ambush your kids. Yeah. And then you send a decoy in the driveway. And then you come and get them when they ambush your friend.

Yes.

Yes.
