When you're 6 years old and your mother is yanking you around by
your ballsack I _don't_ think logic will be the first, second,
third, or 100th thing on your mind at that moment... or hers. ==
I give her kudos for the crazy glue quick-fix because that *is*
a valid _temporary_ stitching and while her unwillingness to
turn herself in and try to hide the evidence *is* a very
rational, reasonable, logical decision, for it affords her an
opportunity to escape punitive justice, none of this takes away
from the fact that she's a loony. == Oh I agree. The power
differential between kids and adults is quite disturbing in so
many ways. Bothered me ever since I was a kid myself and still
does. But I believe in human respect first so I listen no matter
where they are in their own personal timeline, or at least try.
