Holy mother of god!!!!!!!!!!
I would have hit the kid long before it went that far... thats for SURE! My child is 2 and understand authority more then that child ever will.
That is just soooooooooooo unbelievable... they way you said it I'm thinking... no way! But like, that was so scary real it had to have happened like that!?WOW!
I had a similiar experience, but no means to that level.
I had listed a rescue ferret I had online (at a reputable rescue ferret online group) looking for someone who had 1 already, about the same age. (My ferrets' best friend was older then her and passed away right before I had my daughter and could not take on another ferret at that point, so she needed a friend).
This lady writes me thats she's interested, but doesn't have another ferret... I told her I'd prefer someone who already had one, because they get lonely and she needs to bond.
So another lady contacts me and has one, and would like to come by and the ferrets 'play time' for a day together to see how they got a long before we moved forward. Just what I wanted! (which she worked out!)
But that other lady would not stop emailing me, and threatening me and telling me she was the first to contact me to take it and I HAD to give it to here now! It was a deal and contract and I could be arrested!
It was a bit looney!
