There's a tiktok trend going around lately, where teens do water gun drive bys on strangers.

I know it sounds harmless, it's just water, but these kids are putting themselves in danger.

I was getting off work the other day when some teens got me with this in the parking lot. For the most part, I was just annoyed, though I was genuinely concerned about how fast they were driving *in the mall parking lot.*

I also couldn't help but think of how much more upset I would've been if my toddler had been with me.

But what's more concerning is the response from family and some acquaintances that I've mentioned this to.

Granted, I live in the south, but I've had multiple people (including one cop) say that if this happened to them, they would've sh*t the teens. The cop literally said, "Oh, I would've put 3 through their windows and been totally justified."

So please, if you have teens, talk to them about this. Teens think they're invincible. But antagonizing strangers is so dangerous. You just don't know what people are capable of, or who's at the end of their rope with nothing to lose. It's just not worth it.

Alright, I need advice.

My 3 year old went snooping in cabinets she's not supposed to get in and saw her Easter basket. She immediately understood that it was her Easter gift from mommy and daddy, and has been excitedly talking about it every day since. She knows she won't get it until Easter.

I thought, "oh well, she's still happy. No damage done."

Until today, she said to her grandma, "I wonder what the Easter Bunny will bring me."

So apparently she's also expecting a separate gift for Easter from the Easter Bunny. Now I don't know what to do.

How would you handle this?
