My son...is NO Davey Crockett!!!

Yeah, so you are wondering about the title...another fine story to regale you all with from Brewer!
I leave to run some errands, and Jr. finds Ken's old hunting knife in the garage...he later tells me he didn't know where it came from but it has been in there for years now, and he must have seen it before this. Anyhow, he decides to try out his marksmanship by throwing said knife at the huge oak tree in the front yard. Of course it would take too much common sense to realize one should be sure NOTHING is behind the tree.....just in CASE he missed! (here it comes...)
So, he does in fact miss....and throws it right into my downstairs window(s)....yes plural! Goes through the screen, storm window, and the inside double paned window! Glass everywhere down there! He calls me to inform me he broke a window...I am at Walmart and just simply hang up and head home, not knowing what to expect....although I half expected him to break this newest phone I just got to replace the one he trashed earlier this week.
I get home to see the lovely mess in my family room, though luckily, most of the glass stayed in between the closed windows.
So I ask you....how does a fairly intelligent young man NOT have any common sense???!!!! I think I may need to invest in a BABYSITTER for when I am gone....this is getting way too costly for me...he now gets no allowance for yet another month while I try to pay for this one. Chris is gonna come take a look at it for me first though...thank God for my little house husband!!!
I told him I might have to sell his guitar if this keeps up....he will have to lose it for a while as punishment I think...it seems to be the only thing that means anything to him these days...if he thinks I will let him drive one of MY cars soon, he has some serious work to do in the"respecting other's property" category! YIKES!!!!!
I am gonna have to get a part time job if this keeps up....actually....HE WILL!!!!!
