Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : A kid across the street from me got a soccer ball for christmas, and he and his little friends are always playing ball in the street. Every day since he got it, his ball comes over my fence, and bounces off my wall. I have asked the kids to be careful, I've asked thier parents to watch them, because I have a small child that likes to sit in my yard under the big tree and read. I dont want her to get hit.

Today, I am in my room, and my daughter is in the den, sitting in the window reading. I hear a crash, and I run into the room. Fucking soccer ball broke the window. My daughter is fighting back the tears because a piece of glass cut her on the leg.

I am so pissed. I put a bandage on my daughters leg, and glare out of the window. I see little kids scattering.

About 40 mins later, the ringleader comes over to my gate. I can hear him trying to climb over. When I go to the window, he asks for his ball back. He has about 7 other little kids from the neighborhood with him.

I say sure, one second. I grab the Bowie knife I keep up in the closet.(its about 8 inches). I walk outside, pick up the ball and open the gate. I ask if this was his ball. He says yes. I proceed to  stab the ball, then slice it in 2, like an orange. Then I slide the knife into its holster, and hand him the 2 pieces of his ball. He ran off in tears.

It felt great for like 5 mins, then I just felt like an asshole.

Am I the asshole?
