Yeah...there are days I hate kids...

Especially ones that think it's funny to get on a trampoline at 0800 on a Sunday morning with the express intention of teasing our dogs over the back fence

Be mature about the whole thing.

Throw rocks at them when they pop up.

I have three kids. Two were 13 months apart and are now teens and I have a 4 year old.

I don't like kids at all.

And when they do things like that, I don't like them and I REALLY dislike the parent involved. GAH.

Turn it into a game of "whack-a-mole"! Or like a pinata...

Many years ago, we owned two St. Bernards. The butcher who we bought our quarters from would often give us a leg bone for the dogs. Some kids (10-11 years old) would hang over the top of the fence and get the dogs riled up. One day we were in the back yard and one of the dogs came around the corner with this huge bone clenched in its teeth. Kid asked: "What kind of bone is that?" My husband answered: "Leg bone from the last kid who fell over the fence". We didn't see them hanging over the fence after that. :-)

See... I generally have the opposite reaction, ever since the days I worked in a TCHY...

There are rare, very rare, days when I like kids. And even rarer days when I like the adults who encourage their kids to be that kind of jerk... those days would be more common if those adults were less so. :/
