Here are the players in today's game:
Defendant - herein referred to as "deft"
Traumatized Child - herein referred to as "TC"
Complaining Witness (mother of TC) - herein referred to as "CW"
Arresting Police Office - herein referred to as "AO"
The scene: TC is playing on the swings in a park. CW is sitting on a bench casually glancing over at TC to make sure she's staying within eyesight, gossiping with the other mommies and nannies at the park. The sun is shining, birds are quietly chirping, the world is as it should be.
Enter: our deft.
Deft decides that he needs to get his jollys off by exposing his family jewels to TC. TC naturally freaks the hell out and runs back to CW screaming and crying. CW immediately (and quite fearlessly) confronts deft and engages in a verbal argument. Instead of denying anything, our deft pulls out a pocket knife and threatens the CW.
In a moment of what must've been an adrenaline fueled blackout, our heroic CW slaps the sneer right off our deft's face, while he was still brandishing his weapon, puny as it may have been.
The deft must've taken a pretty hard slap to the face because he immediately left the park and searched out the nearest police officer, our AO, and complained that he had been assaulted by the CW. After days and days of tedious detail oriented police work, the AO was able to ascertain that the incident started when the deft exposed his cash and prizes to our poor TC, who had no problem picking him out of the crowd at the park as well as a lineup at the precinct.
One has to wonder if the CW would've notified the authorities about the deft had he just left and run away. The world may never know.

I object to the use of my name to represent someone who runs and hides at the sight of a stranger's junk. Er...
Really? I thought it was quite clever.
But fine, if the situation ever arises again I will use a different acronym. How about...
Greatly Offended Offspring of Societal Establishment?
better?
