I think my hand would find some bottoms whether it is the politically correct thing to do or not. As for Mom. I think I'd give her a good dose of what a good mother does and dodesn't do! As for Dad, well let's say you spent X amount of hours working on the destroyed quilt. Add all that up and charge a good price per hour (hey, it's hard work and takes a long time to do) and then add up the cost plus interest (everything costs more now) and deliver dear Dad and Mom a nice lil bill and tell them to Pay up or Else! Bet the next time they'll mind their kids better. I know it won't get your quilt back but hey! It may give you satisfaction knowing the little hoodlums didn't get off scott free. Dollars to donuts, if Dad has to pay a good price for their misbehavior...they will learn what is and what is not appropriate... Sorry but I'm from the old school. If the parents can't/won't control their kids, let someone else do something that will make the parents reconsider!!!
