"If your mother doesn't teach you manners, the world will." My friend from Kenya told me it's an old proverb where he's from.

If my kid did that, I'd let you splash them again.

Truly cannot conceive of any other appropriate response. My kid's an asshole sometimes, better he get gentle lessons now.

ESH. Kid shouldn't have done it, but also the lady shouldn't let the cat outside

I just assumed she might be British due to spelling/tone. Cats have been around here for about 1,600 years and it's considered fairly normal to let them out.

I’ll take things that never happened for 200$

Dollars two hundred.

Yes, no 10 year-old ever threw water at a cat.

If my neighbor did ANYTHING to my pets, they'd be lucky to only get sprayed with water.

My neighbors daughter had one of those water guns. I told her if she shoots at me, I'll get the hose and retaliate. She grinned, shot at me, and ran away laughing.

I talked to her dad, he nodded, and when she came back for more mischief, she got wet.
