Dude, you make me ashamed to be old, and you're giving "crotchety" a bad name. Good lord, you are giving Wilsonians a bad name. Give it a rest, and go back to eating pecan shells!

And, try to learn how to spell and property hyphenate your words! Geez, if you grew up in Wilson County schools, please keep that info to yourself.

You got your "butt tore up?" I know, we grew up with the attitude that if you beat the h*ll out of your children, you'll have no more problems with them, but that attitude is just plain stupid. Are you really advocating child-abuse as a means of curing insolence? Did you try talking to these teenagers before "telling on them" to their parents? They might have actually listened and felt ashamed.

But, my guess is that you were walking around with a chip on your shoulder and tried to get bossy with some teens with an equally large chip. If you knew anything at all about teens, you'd know that their chip can't be knocked off, especially by some cranky old man. Teenagers are mostly stupid, but on some level they understand authority and humanity. You probably spoke with authority but no humanity. Next time, try seeing them as fellow humans rather than brainless teens.

And, if you run out of pecan shells, try lemon juice. It's way smoother.
