Holy crap Kip! That's terrible! Now if it were drowning some of those kids in the outhouse I could see it... little shits. And the so called adults were assholes.
Yeah, it was interesting. When you're a kid everything is weird so you just kind of accept it, but I do remember being mad that my mother said what she did and also that some of the *adults* were the meanest ones to me about the whole thing...even afterwards.
Childhood isn't something I'd ever willingly inflict on anyone.
As a very little one, I got in trouble like that when I was seen playing with a toy that looked exactly like a toy this neighbour girl had lost. Followed by a gang of outraged parents and others, I had to find the other toy, which I managed to do. I think they were a little mollified, though. Yep, childhood is rough.
I've just become a foster carer for an animal shelter - that means I take home kittens to care for them until they're old enough to be adopted out. I pick up a litter (5) tomorrow. They're four weeks old and their mom has abandoned them :( I'll be looking after them for three weeks.
The animal shelter will talk me through it but I was wondering if anyone else had any advice they could give?
Cute story. I'm not finished yet but from the start I'm having fun already. Well done.

Very Lynda Barry-esque. But that's a good thing!
