Of uncouth children.

The place where we stay has a lot of children who're enjoying their holidays. They dissipate their energies by indulging in their favourite outdoor sports and games much to the heartburn of their elders whose cars are parked all over. An innocently smashed six by an 'accomplished' cricketer can leave one's car with a grotesque dent or a 'header' from a budding footballer can knock off one's driving mirror! There was an incident over the last weekend when one of the inmates was moved to tears because there were deep scratches etched on his newly acquired Honda City. He's informed, on the quiet, as to who the real culprit was and armed with this information he confronted the parents of the errant child. Instead of taking appropriate action, they chided him for making false allegations but when he persisted, he was asked to furnish 'concrete proof '! The poor guy is impotently raged!! What does one say about parents who spare the rod on their children when they make mistakes? I hope they are aware of the adage, 'if you spare the rod and make your child a monster, there will be others who'll put the kid in place by using their's and you'll be left being a helpless spectator'. Badly brought up children are an eyesore and one's heart goes for them because the real culprits are their parents who do not have time to spare for them! If one were to ask me, they need to be whipped!!
