Default "Mexican Drive by..."

We had our first "drive by" Mexican shooting today. By drive by... I mean we were driving around the golf course in Playacar to head to the gym. And by shooting... I mean 2 Mexican kids around 8yrs old throwing rocks at cars from their second story patio. After Lolita (our Astro van) took one off the side window and just missed Lori, we were both stunned and confused on what that noise was. Maybe a rock from the tires??? I thought, maybe we were shot with something?!?! So I stopped and we could see the rock dust on the window, which luckily it didn't explode and didn't hit Lori's in the open window. I turned around and as we past the only house where it happened we saw the 2 little weasels duck down. I drove into the driveway and rang the bell and got their mother out who spoke some English. We never saw the buggers but she yelled up at the patio for 30 seconds and apologized. I dunno... I don't think anything will happen to them. I should have made them come down and apologize to us. I image I will have an eye out the next time we go by.
Would have loved to have their mother send them down to me for 5 minutes! I think I could scare them straight.

That is hilarious that you stopped at the house! Do you think they had a sling shot or if they were just throwing the rocks?

BTW, I just became one of your fans on FB.

I think they were just throwing them but who knows. Im thinking the problem was the "new age" parenting as a good kick in the arse and threat of bodily harm would have been the last of it if I did that at 8yrs old. I little "prairie doggin" action always set things straight.

Thanks for joining our FB page! We are just starting to put up a lot more information and content. We just released our About Us video. We'll see if that helps or hurts us! haha
