We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this breaking news. Sassy discovered the culprit who "littered" in our lawn after her sleepover.
Said culprit was instructed (and when I say instructed, I mean Sassy let loose on her and MADE her call me ) to call and confess/apologize to the said mother who was FURIOUS. (Yet thankful that someone was being careful...)
After a long and humiliating phone call on culprit's part, everyone involved agreed to move forward. Frankly, it was a nice discussion.
whew. That was a new one. I am still shaking my head.

LMao! glad it was all worked out!
Power to Sassy! Bravo girl!
Something's to be said about that mother: you don't want to rubber the wrong way.
GO SASSY GO! Wow.. so some of the stuff you have been trying to teach her really HAS sunk in amazing.
I am glad it all worked out for the better.
Just when we think our children NEVER listen to us, they go and do something like this. Makes me think that there is a sliver of hope mine won't be rotten...yeah, mine are SO rotten! Good Job, VM!
Sassy takes after Momma, doesn't she VM? Glad it all worked out. Whew, now where's the vodka?
I am just curious, does said culprit's parents know?
I am not ready for that.
Googling "convent" now.
Your better folk than I. I would have just cleaned it up and forgot about it.
... my neighbors kid smokes pot blowing the smoke out his window. I don't like them enough to bother getting involved. Don't want my house egged by her pot smoking brats.
That is one brave kid! And, in an odd sort of way, I'm glad you were there for her . . .
Who is Rick Daley? You gotta admit--that was a good one! I don't blame Sassy--I wouldn't want her mom on my case either. (Keep that lady on your side!) Clear your name, girl, clear your name!! PS. Easy for me to chuckle at this one. It is your house, not mine!
Kudos to Sassy and to you for handling it well.
However, I'm sure the culprits reputation ain't what it used to be. Huge lesson learned.
Sounds like it all ended well without getting the lawnmower out. Actually, I don't know if I'd say it ended well, but at least it ended on a note of accountability and apology. Sometimes that 's the best you can hope for...
And the OTHER culprit? Last I was aware, it to two to tango.
Hopefully the fesserupper relayed the message at least.
Yikes and yuck. Glad you found the culprit! And I am sure you will ALWAYS find things to blog about!!
When my Sassy gets your Sassy's age, I'm going to need more than a Martini.
Makes me want to puke when I think of someone leaving a rubber in my yard... just plain icky.

(YAY Sassy!)
From time to time, I watch that old movie of Steve Martin's, "Parenthood". The movie says it all! You have to give Sassy's friend props for calling you, that had to be a tough thing to do!

I can't even think about this. I will do everything in my power to make sure my kids are nerds who never get invited to parties! Not really of course (at least not intentionally...)

I always like reading your labels. Matter of fact, in the sincerest form of flattery, I've begun to imitate you a bit with my labeling.
In so doing, I've noticed that the label thingy sometimes cuts the label and puts the last part first and the first part last...
like yours here.
I'm betting it *should* say, "Some day my life will be boring, and then I won't have anything to blog about." ... but it's backwards.
Or maybe I'm just fruit-loop.
At least is wasn't her doing. Glad you got it cleared up.
well that's good. i think. well is it? good, that is?

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
home is wonderful! ps
LMAO @ Rick!
I hope my daughter is as cool as sassy! way to go mom and daughter!!
Whew! That poor girl who had to make the call.
Poor girl - she must have been terrified to admit her mistake to you! Still, Sassy was hellbent on clearing her own name, so you KNOW she was going to get justice.
(And, yes, at least it was protection. They were trying to be safe.)
Don't mess with Sassy and her mother too! Bad asses!!
Nicely done...LOL! I wonder what we would do in our house if such a thing happend....
I, too, am LMAO off at Rick. Perfect comment.
Okay, I had to read what Rick said. Bwahahahahaha. I think he sized it up pretty well.
Have a terrific day. :)
Woo-hoo! You go girl :-)
I think I have my own Sassy that won't put up with that crap either!

Phew. That must be a relief. Hey - heck of a party favor you must be giving out! LOL. (just kidding)
You're lawn is the place to be.
Congrats all around. That was well handled. And yes, VM, be grateful that the culprit (and hopefully all the culprit's friends) was being careful.
Okay, seriously, what did you say to her on the phone???
I have NO idea what I would have said, but someone would be damn happy they made it out alive!
Good Job Sassy!
Well don, mother AND daughter.
Oh, man! I would have died if I had to make that call.
Wait!
Nevermind... I actually did have a conversation like that, only it was IN PERSON. Mother of God! I'd managed to block that until just now. Oy!
Wow! Go Sassy! I imagine that girl will be very red-faced when she sees you enext time (if she ever goes to your house again)
Hey! Gimme a wave around 8 tonight! Should be not far from your town in Oregon by then.
wow I am so impressed go sassy!! awesome ending to a well...eewee moment, handled very well indeed!
Dear Mrs. Me,
Please come out to LA and straighten out two of my neighbors, who I am FIGHTING with over lesser issues.
Glad you got THAT all worked out, and I'm also glad I no longer have to deal with those teenage issues! But hey, I had my share, although having a son is way different than dealing with daughters, I am sure! (lucky me!)
once in a while it comes out in the wash...
OMG you know she is having a small heart attack right now thinking you're going to call her mom, right??
GROSS though. that's disgusting.
I'm very impressed Sassy was able to get her to call you. Way to go.
After all I've seen the past few months, I would have been thankful someone was at least using protection.
I'm coming in late on this... Was it a used one or still in the package? :)
Thanks everyone ;-) Sometimes you just gotta call 'em as you see 'em...
That Sassy has such a smart mom.
:-)
I cannot wait to be parenting teenagers. REally. It sounds like a joyful experience, all around...
Wait...was the girl flying solo? What about the dude? How cum (heehee) he gets off (heehee!!) scott free?!
Did the rubber meet the road? :)

Good for Sassy and said culprit
Go, Sassy! Woo hoo!
Something tells me she takes after you a bit.

Good job, Sassy! And said culprit for taking the responsibility to own up.
What a great lesson for Sassy - that she can't blame YOU for!! And it's terrific that it pissed her off instead of dumping 'tude on you. Very, very well done VM!
I bet that you are totally disausted after such an important shmergency ! ! You are such a good mother to those darling little spawnlings of yours.
Grannie
hahah, Grannie, I was going to say she must be disausted too! lol!
guess i'll have to go with the condiment joke instead....
We used to call them "Long Island White Fish" when we saw them floating in the Long Island Sound.
I'm a bit in awe of the confession. Glad it's all over for you.
Well, at least it was somebody else's kid, right? I bet you'll think of this whenever you squirt condoments on your hotdogs. ;)
Sassy's kinda scary.
Oh my! The conversations you have! I'd like to be a fly on your shoulder!
Boy Sassy is Sassy isn't she?!
Are she and the culprit still friends?
Wonder how many lawn parites she'll be attending in the near future.
And today in "kindergartenese"... From the backseat I was informed there was a penisting. ( I still don't know what that one is... I couldn't turn around to find out.) I'm telling you it's a good thing I've got good insurance. I'm doomed if we keep having these car talks!
Sassy's a regular Sherlock Holmes! Way to go, Sassy!
At least it wasn't your daughter
I'm with Caroline... I would hope that my boys would enter the priesthood... crap. we're Jewish!
Kids are creative boogers.
