ORIGINAL: Naberius I had a police officer friend tell me via phone that his son (10 years old) was charged for assault due to a SNOW BALL FIGHT...WTF, kids can't be kids anymore? Needless to say my friend is strongly thinking about no longer wearing a badge after this b.s. My sister still has a dimple-scar on her cheekbone from a snowball thrown by a young boy in the 50's. There was never any talk of assault charges, the boy got a talking-to by our parents & by his & that was the end of the incident as far as I know. I think that it's mandatory to have snow ball fights when there is enough snow on the ground. Also during the 50's we lived across the street from a boy & a girl close to our ages. We were all best friends & played together well, until the plums on the tree got ripe. Then we would start talkin bad about each other & our respective parentages so that by the time the plums were rotten on the ground, we could have rotten plum fights, firing them across the street at each other. More than once, one of us ran inside crying from getting hit with a pit, but our parents just rolled their eyes & we went back at it. As soon as the plums were all gone, we were best friends again!!! Aaaaaah, how times have changed!!!
