8. Show and Tell
One Tuesday night, I received a message saying that “my taser has just arrived LOL”. Ten minutes later, I receive a message saying “Accidentally Tased My Grandma, What Do I Do?”
I assumed he was making a joke or lying just for fun. The next day, during research workshop, our middle school’s equivalent of study hall, he said, “Hey guys! Check this out!” He pulled out a purple stungun from his backpack. The ends were about 6 inches long and looked sharp enough that they could maim , but without the danger of electric shock.
I whisper/shout to him “Hey dude, what are you doing? Listen, I’ve done a few attention-seeking things but this is going a little too far. He just giggles the entire day. Yikes. The next day, the police call him to the principal’s desk. He had an army knife and a stun gun in his backpack.
He hadn’t been heard from for 12 weeks. He was given a plastic bag to store his books when he returned. As a witness, it was my duty to give a statement at the police station. It was not a pleasant way to spend the day in spring.
Yes, he did. He did in fact tase her grandma. According to what I heard, she was not injured.
What is the stun-gun boy doing?
