Well, this isnt a church story, but it is a story about kids acting like $&*#@$^.
I spent quite a bit of time in San Angelo, TX, and when there wasn't anything better to do on Tuesdays, I'd frequent the "cheap seats" as I call them, which was a movie theater that had $0.50 Tuesdays. Well across the street from this theater was San Angelo's only mall. Some of you might already know what this is leading to, beings as were talking about kids here..... anyway, it is fairly common practice, for the owners of these devil children, to purchase their tickets, and then go to the mall where they wont be bothered, letting the theater babysit their kids. I cant remember the movie I was in, but it was something i had wanted to see, but never had the time to see it in the regular theater, and i really didnt want to miss anything. There was probably a handful of adults in the theater, and 2 handfuls of childeren, so we were obviously outnumbered, and I had been in there with plenty of time to see the movie so i was sitting through the jokes and ads, etc, and these damn kids were jumping on seats, shooting rubber bands at each other, one even went up to the screen and ran behind it banging on it the whole way. I politely asked if anyone in the theater knew any of these little ankle biters, and received no positive response. that being the case, i knew i had to act. My hand was twitching at the thought of dealing out a butt whuppin to these unruly miniature people, but I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt, and i would tell them to settle down, so i stood up, (the previews were about to start so it was still light) and told them all to settle down, and if there were going to watch this movie, to sit down and shut up.
Well that worked for about 2 min. they huddled up and decided that there were more of them than there were of us, so if need be they could "take us". i dunno what they said in the huddle, but thats my best guess. At any rate, they broke their huddle and continued to rampage the theater. Well the choice was clear, I had to make an example out of at least one of them, So i noticed the biggest one was making an effort to run laps up and down the aisles, and the next time he came down mine, i stuck my leg out and tripped him. He was going towards the screen, which made it great, because he fell and slid more than if he was going the other way since it was slightly downhill. After tripping him, i thought that wouldnt be enough, so i went and picked him up by the back of his pants and asked him if he had had an @$$whuppin lately, and he was just screaming to put him down. Now that he helped me gain the attention of the other renegades, i put him over my knee and dealt out 5 hefty swats and told him that if he would have listened to me the first time, i wouldt have to do that. Funny thing is, he told me he was sorry, and got the kids to leave the theater with him. Right after the kid got off my lap, a lady in the audience told me i had no right to do it, and i told her to shut her mouth or she would be next, to which i received an applause from the other few people..... lol
So long story short, go bend one over the knee.... problem solved
