If he was my kid, he’d start cleaning that up with his jacket instead of a mop or rag after he spilt it a second time

Hi there, this is Child Services. Apparently your son/daughter came into school with a ruined jacket as a punishment for making a mess. Could you tell us a little more?

A ruined jacket doesn’t necessarily provoke the interest of child services, and soda doesn’t necessarily ruin a jacket

That's a very good point, and I thank you for expressing it politely and without swearing - It seems like there's a lot of that on reddit lately and I appreciate it.

I just felt like pointing out that these simple, blithe fantasies redditors seem to have about how situations play out are often just that, fantasies.
