for the mallet or the cussing? :)
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eleven is not tiny -- it's adolescent. I'm not saying 11 year olds are grownups, but they know what happens when you hit someone.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You know what? I don't know what it means for the victim to "press charges." Is it a term for whether or not the victim is cooperative?

What is even happening?
I was 11 once. And I knew the consequences of throwing a 2 lb rock at somebody.
The kids was 11? Oh, that's too old for that nonsense. I think my mother was 4 or 5.

no, it means that the victim intitates the legal proceeding. there are certain cases when the victim does not have to.

Yeah, when I was a kid, one of my buddies threw a rock at a girl, and missed by twenty feet, breaking a window instead. Since I was there, and I was the oldest (I was probably 11 at the time), I was the one who got in trouble.
Something similar happened to dh, but he was older, and the kid who did throw the rock wasn't throwing rocks at a girl.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm not saying 11 year olds are grownups, but they know what happens when you hit someone.
I think they know it hurts, which is the whole idea. I don't think they're aware of how badly it can hurt someone.

Heh.
The cussing is certainly what made us noteworthy to the neighbors, though.
My dad has a friend who always introduces him as "that boy who hit me in the head with a shovel." When they were TWO.

I was 11 once. And I knew the consequences of throwing a 2 lb rock at somebody.
I very much doubt that I did. I'm trying to imagine what 2 lbs feels like in my hand, and I don't think it's enough heft for me to really think "I could hurt someone with this". Even assuming that I thought throwing something at someone would result in me hitting them.
I didn't read the article, though, so I can't apply my hypothetical case to the actual.

The rock gashed the boy's forehead — requiring stitches — and the girl spent five days in Fresno's juvenile hall and a month under house arrest after police said she resisted arrest and scratched an officer's arm.
Maybe these officers are assholes, I don't know, but it would appear they detained her for more than just the rock.
