"If your mother doesn't teach you manners, the world will." My friend from Kenya told me it's an old proverb where he's from.

If my kid did that, I'd let you splash them again.

Truly cannot conceive of any other appropriate response. My kid's an asshole sometimes, better he get gentle lessons now.

You can tell the people in here thinking it's ok to retaliate like that are people that live alone with cats or in their parents basement with cats. I have cats and children. Y'all this isn't the way to go about this.

At 10 they should know better. Now, I don't know the dynamic of this "neighborship", and pettiness is not the way to go about anything. At the same time though, it's only water.

I’ll take things that never happened for 200$

I like to imagine she had the basin of water handy in that moment.

Yes, no 10 year-old ever threw water at a cat.

If my neighbor did ANYTHING to my pets, they'd be lucky to only get sprayed with water.

My neighbors daughter had one of those water guns. I told her if she shoots at me, I'll get the hose and retaliate. She grinned, shot at me, and ran away laughing.

I talked to her dad, he nodded, and when she came back for more mischief, she got wet.
