So, today Amanda comes out of school as she usually does, happy and ready to talk. The first words out of her mouth are usually about how her day went. So, she starts with, "Mom, you'll never guess what happened at recess today! It was so bad!" So, I (jokingly) said, "A random drive-by egging?" And, she answers, "NO, it was way worse!" So, I said, "Ok, what happened."
I must admit that I was not prepared for the following response.
"There were these two guys, and one was driving a truck down the road next to the playground, and the other guy was in the back of it. The guy driving the truck started honking and so everyone looked at the truck. And, the guy in the back PULLED DOWN HIS PANTS AND EVEN HIS UNDERWEAR TOO AND SHOWED US ALL HIS BUTT!!! And, he was SPANKING HIS BUTT with his middle fingers." So, here I am wondering what the appropriate parental response to this is. In my case, a stuttering "Huh?!?!?!" was all I could put together. Shortly after, I did say that what they did was illegal (indecent exposure?), offensive, and was actually called "mooning". Luckily, she didn't ask for a reason why. She said it was two young white guys, "probably teenagers". I asked how she knew, and she answered, "Well, the one guy's butt was sure white!" She quickly added, "Euwwwww!!!" after that. I think I would have too.
The school has contacted the county sheriff and, due to the fact that there were 120+ witnesses that will probably talk about this for the rest of the year, they have a fairly good description of the vehicle, driver, and the passenger's butt. They expect to eventually find the culprits.
According to Amanda, "The boys all laughed and thought it was funny, but the girls just were totally grossed out by it. It was just....Euwww. Trust me....Euwwww!"
