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.

I have this same problem!! Once I was at a get together for my dad's work and I was playing a game with little 12 year old kids and when I told them I was 18 they couldn't believe it! They thought I was their age! X_X

This is so funny, there is nothing to add. Except for the great follow-up comment about driving away in his car, and watching the kid's expression. Mess with this kid- Tell him you really are 12, and that the DMV made an exception for you. Tell him you can help him get his own license, too. Tell him that you are an 'emancipated' 12 year-old with a job, a house, a girlfriend, a car, and you can drink and smoke! I love messing with middle-school kids....

If a kid is old enough to talk back they're old enough to be punched in the throat...

Push the kid down once and pretend like you are gonna punch him on the ground. Then don't, help him up and ask if he wants to play basket ball or something.

@167 Yes, looking young does have its challenges and like many others with the same problem I have had to face the dreaded crayon challenge at most of the restaurants I have dined at. But in the long run, I will be thankful for my youthful appearance because I'll be very happy to still have people thinking I am as young as I am now in my forties and fifties, thank you very much. So I say bring all of the crayons on random waitresses! And don't forget the toy that comes with the happy meal!

The shitty kids in my neighborhood took to yelling risqué things at me when I'd drive by to get to my house. I called them out on their bullshit. They wrote "****" on my car in sharpie.
