Let me guess. The boys are probably “very sorry” and “didn’t mean to upset” anyone, they “wish they’d never have done it” and “didn’t really think about how it would impact” anyone, and their parents affirm this because otherwise it’s just not the way their little angels usually behave.
That is one of the truest things I have seen on FR. The boys ought to set in the tank for 30 days. They would likely do so around here.
