When I was a kid, I was bullied relentlessly by a trio of nasty boys.
They’d pop out of nowhere and surround me, taunt me, and push me around until I fell or spilled whatever I was carrying. Or they’d torture any animals in sight just to see what I’d do.
At the pool one day they threw a cat in, and I had to dive in and get it, poor thing. I was so pissed I vowed ‘never again’.
I got my water pistol out of my don’t-play-with-this-anymore stuff, filled it with a mix of water and hot pepper, and put it in my bag.
Boy did they regret the next time they tried to bully me! Pepper water works wonders. They never bullied me again.

DON’T PUSH ME IN!
