I don’t understand old people who don’t give children a break.

Like, hello? They’re kids. They like to play. Leave them alone!

And so, because of this, our hero babysitter comes to the rescue.

Read the full story below and find out how she takes revenge!

I seek petty revenge for those who cannot seek it for themselves.

I watch a young boy sometimes for his parents.

I know the family well, and they drop the kid off at my house on the way out to date night, shopping, or whatever.

They are friends of my family so it’s not a business, just to-be-nice kind of thing.

The boy loves playing in OP’s yard.

I have a big yard with pond and woods, essentially a paradise for a kid to play in.

He catches frogs, builds forts, whatever.

Last summer, he picked a bundle of dead dandelions, put them in a pile, and proceeded to whack them with a big stick.

Basically like hitting a golf ball with a club.

Their neighbor started calling out the kid.

This was on the far side of the property downwind from my neighbor near the property line.

The old bat comes scampering across her yard, and starts shouting at this little kid.

Not asking him to stop, not correcting him, not teaching him, etc.

Like verbally abusing the little guy, because she was scared of weeds and crap popping up.

As revenge, OP bought a birdfeeder.

Last weekend, I was at Home Depot and saw their birdfeeders.

I bought the cheapest one they had with a big bag of seed, and set it up on my shed, which is about ten feet from her garden.

She should have a nice patch of millet to weed next year.

With the speed she moves, I’m thinking it should keep her occupied most of the summer.

Enjoy that. Don’t yell at little kids.

Hahaha! That was funny. Let’s find out what other people have to say.

Here’s a rather clever suggestion from a user.

And another idea from this one.

And yet another wonderful idea.

Let’s throw in some catnips, too!

And finally, a comment of appreciation.

You’re the babysitter everybody needs!
