Nine-year-old should not have brought such an implement and used it on others
Dear Lisi: My son just came home from camp with his eyebrow notched. He looks like he belongs in a gang. I Googled it and found out that it was popularized in the ‘90s by hip-hop artists. I also learned it’s a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community.
What bothers me is that he’s NINE years old!!!! And he told me that one of his bunkmates brought the razor and did it to the whole cabin. THAT’S what bothers me!I was following your letter, impressed with your calmness and that you did your own research, until you mentioned your son’s age. Wow! I’m with you – that’s very young, on all accounts.
But I would then call the camp and speak to the director. In my opinion, that child should not have had a razor at camp and should not have used it on his friends without adult supervision, if at all. Dear Lisi: One of my neighbours is smoking weed a couple of times a week, mostly at around 10-10:30 p.m. The problem is how pungent it is. It’s still summer, and my bedroom window is open to let in the cool air.
I just don’t know who it is! Because of an irregular configuration of houses in my neighbourhood, it could be a person in one of six homes. I am on good terms with all of them and I don’t want to offend anyone. The idea of parading around the neighbourhood in my pyjamas in the dark to try to figure out who it is…and if I could, how would I deal with it…well, there has got to be a better way.I love a good mystery! If you are on good terms with all these neighbours, then you have nothing to fear.
