Today, a neighbor's kid decided to pick a fight with me because I'm "the new kid in town and need to learn who's in charge". When I told him I'm 27, he said excuses like that aren't going to get me off the hook. I just moved here and I'm already being harassed by a twelve year old. FML

Hello everyone, OP here. I have enjoyed reading the comments, they are all very amusing and gave me a good laugh. In response to the Karate Kid comment, I actually practice Tai Chi, Qigong, Sword Fighting, and other martial arts/ weapon combat styles. Sometimes I do feel like the Karate Kid, especially with this latest development in my life. Because of my martial arts training I believe in self-defense and since all the kid hurled at me were threats, I am not too concerned. I don't think he believed I was above the age of thirteen until I drove in my car today and then you should have seen his expression. It was very amusing. I tend to look very young for my age (hey I'm not complaining) so people tend to think I am in my very early teens all of the time. I was even denied access to a lot of the casinos at Cliff Castle not too long ago because I looked too young to be on the casino floors. At the end of the day I had to wear a stamp that confirmed my age to even be allowed on the casino floors so in some sense I can understand why people mistake me for being so young. In response to the question about living at home, I happen to be a working professional, those years are behind me now. But there are definitely days when I wish that I was still as young as people like to think I am. If I happen to see the kid's parents I'll let them know about his behavior so he doesn't treat the other neighborhood kids the same way. Thank you for the support in all of this. No one should be bullied no matter what age they happen to be. I hope this will inspire other people to stop bullying in their schools and neighborhoods too.

Take a shit in his sandbox. That'll teach him a lesson he won't soon forget.

Some kids need to learn some discipline.

lol, this is probably going to be on ABC breaking news. An adult fights a kid to prove "who is in charge." I would be the first one to sugest whoop his ass but this is a fight that you cannot win. Just accept defeat and talk to his parents

If that works. I have met to many parents who encourage a kid to do this and laugh about it.

In that case beat up the parents

Do what the men in the movie "Step Brothers" did and just avoid that block or he might make you lick white poo!

"Can we turn our beds into bunk beds?"

well beat him like his daddy should have, and tell him you're in charge now.

Wait for him to come by again and spray him with your garden hose. It probably won't solve the problem but it'd be ******* hilarious.

I did this once haha. My brother and I only got 3 complaints out of the 3 people we sprayed lol

Eat his animal crackers! That will really grind his gears.

But you are the one who is old enough to buy guns. Once you rack your 12-gauge, that little shit will realize who really is in charge.

Perdix strikes again! I'd love to ride shotgun with you sometime :P
