"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.

Seriously my first thought if I saw this all occurring and my kid came complaining to me about it is I'd just say "well this is how the cat feels"

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

I’ll take things that never happened for 200$

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

Dollars two hundred.

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

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.

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