Bullying is a real issue in school at many ages.

It’s not often that the victim gets harmless, hilarious revenge, but this story from Reddit gives us a great example of exactly that.

Let’s take a look!

My 9 year old’s petty revenge

Today I got a call from the school my 9 year old attends asking to please come up to the school because my daughter was in trouble for vandalizing another child’s property.

The author was shocked because this was very out of behavior for her kid.

This surprised me because my daughter is a bit of a goody two shoes and never gets in trouble so I dropped what I was doing and swung by the school to find my daughter sitting in the Principal’s office grinning ear to ear.

I was ushered in to take a seat.

The Principal immediately launched into a tirade about how my daughter had deliberately broken another girl’s necklace and how unacceptable it was.

Once he was finished, I turned to my daughter to hear her side of the story.

Assumed guilty before getting to tell her side of the story, the mom was smart to hear her daughter out.

Last year my daughter saved up her pocket money to buy best friend necklaces for her and this girl. I ordered them from Wish.com for her.

This year the friendship went belly up when I discovered this girl was trying to extort her friends including my daughter into buying her expensive items on a kid’s game with threats, backstabbing my daughter and threatening anyone who dared play with her at lunch so she was completely isolated.

Friendships come and go at that age, but it seems like this was pretty toxic. Good thing the daughter extricated herself.

My daughter cut off contact and has been rebuilding her friendship circle and all was going well until this little girl started repeatedly demanding that my daughter give her the other half of the friendship necklace so she could give it to someone else.

The fact we were the ones that bought the necklaces to begin with was apparently a minor irrelevant detail.

My 18 year old niece and nephew are very protective of their young cousins and were quite upset for her so they decided to offer her the opportunity for therapeutic destruction.

Last weekend they got out their tools and helped my daughter shatter the charm into 7 or 8 pieces with a hammer and some pliers and had a great time.

My daughter put the pieces of the charm in her jewelry box as a reminder of what fake friends can do to you.

These are some great cousins! Wonder how the former friend will react?

Anyway, apparently this girl kept demanding the necklace every day and hassling her, so my daughter hatched a plan.

She gathered up the pieces into a little bag, took them to school today to empty the bag in front of the girl and told her she was welcome to the necklace as long she likes jigsaw puzzles but she will probably need some glue.

Apparently the girl went red and stormed off to the teacher to say that my daughter had destroyed her necklace and my daughter was sent to the office.

The author got a good laugh over the incident once the whole story was told. And I am sure the principal had a strong reaction, too.

I couldn’t keep a straight face and burst out laughing.

You could see the vein in the Principal’s forehead pop out as he looked at me laughing.

I pulled out my phone, showed him my purchase history to confirm that we bought the necklaces and my daughter is perfectly within her rights to destroy her own property if she so wishes.

He finally dismissed us and my daughter skipped back to class laughing hysterically.

My niece and nephew are quite proud and planning to take my daughter out for ice cream this weekend to celebrate her standing up for herself.

Raising a strong, independent young woman! You love to see it. Let’s see what the commenters of Reddit have to say on the matter.

Top comment says good job, mom!

Another says it’s great that the kid knows her mom will have her back.

Ice cream is definitely in order, says this comment.

Several commenters wondered if the bully was going to be held accountable as well.

And lastly, the administrator needs to be told off, in this commenter’s opinion.

In this case, revenge was a dish best served in a bunch of tiny pieces!
