School daze

When you were a kid and you complained to your mom about something that happened at school, she may have said something like "You're too old for me to be fighting your battles for you anymore," and you may have been upset by that. On the other hand...

Police said the mother of an elementary school student drank a 40 ounce bottle of malt liquor before brandishing a sword in her child's school. The woman, 32, apparently intended to confront the parents of another child who had been in a spitting match with her child the previous day.

According to court records, an employee at Riverview Elementary School in Memphis reported a drunk woman armed with a sword was running through the halls of the school and had threatened to cut her.

Well, at least the woman was sober enough not to threaten to shoot the employee with her sword.

What? I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
