Facts

[@moccalou]

My neighbor was named Karen when I was growing up. She was the nicest woman I'd ever met.

[@The_guy_who_asked]

A mother asks me “why aren’t you playing with my son? Whalen he hits others” Yes this happened,there was this boy in building i live in (its an apartment) he had anger issues and use to hit people who anger him so me and my friends avoided him. Then apparently he complained to his mom that no one is playing with him so his mom asked us why aren’t we playing with him so we told her that he hits others and said “my angel wouldn’t hit anyone!” But we had proof:someone with a black eye and then she said and i quote “that’s just make up! You are bullying my angel and hitting him!” So the black eyed person splashed water on his eye and it dint come off and a girl and her friends came up and said “ma’am with all due respect i have recorded a video of your son hitting someone and played it she saw and the look of terror on her face made me so happy I muttered under my breath”that’s what you get! And then she took her son and ran away that’s the last I’ve ever saw of them
