Off The Lawn

While it may be a cliche, there is some truth to the common belief that when you get older you’re more prone to yelling at kids to get off your lawn. Presumably the kids in question in this scenario are strangers trespassing on the older person’s property.

And then…

As a parent, it isn’t unusual for me to yell at my kids when they are being disrespectful to others. This includes telling them (sternly) to get off of other people’s lawns.

What does it say about me, however, that I have taken to telling other people’s kids to stay off of other people’s lawns?
