Take Care of Business

CC was talking to some parents after school, when one of the kids started pushing and messing with the other kid. When CC asked then if they were going to do anything, the bully’s parents just chuckled and said, “Boys will be boys.” When the behavior persisted, they repeated their statement. Seeing that they weren’t going to take action, the father of the boy being pushed quietly said, “Son. Take care of business.” A transformation came over the seemingly timid kid, and he came alive. He easily stopped the bully’s next aggressive act, picked the kid up, and threw him to the ground. He sat down on top of him and shoved his face into the dirt, holding him there with ease, while the bully struggled to get up. The boy’s father looked that the bully’s parents, who stood aghast with shock, and said, “Boys will be boys.”
