[LIT] Tell the folks or not?

[ljackson]

I don't think the world will come to an end if the parents don't know,
unless it becomes a pattern of behavior that is getting out of control.  I
think once in a while a little 'kids will be kids' is not a bad thing.  Do
you think your young pranksters are 'cooling their jets' or 'revving their
engines' following the the episode?  That, I think, would be more the factor
in the call or not to call dilemma, than the behavior itself.
