[QUOTE="sstterry, post: 1766610, member: 28912"] Once, when I was very young, my dad caught some boys (students of his from his Ag classes) in our watermelon patch down by the creek. We went down and blocked the boys in and my dad told them that he had been missing a Chain Saw and would hate to think that those boys might be accused of stealing it and getting the Sherriff involved. It scared the boys pretty badly and they never came back. On the way back to the house, I asked Dad about the Chain Saw because I was not aware one was missing. He told me that the saw went missing 15 years before that, and that he must have forgotten to mention that to the boys ;) That is what the experience of being a teacher showed me. He knew just what strings to tug to get the behavior he wanted from them, and they thought he was a saint for not getting them in trouble. [/QUOTE]
