I would have gotton a nurf gun and started shooting the kid instead. It would have released some stress. Or take one of those nurf footballs with the whistlen things on it and peg the kid in the head.
-Ant.
Nurf football would be funny. At first you just hear an annoying kid crying and crying. As you hear the kid crying you also start to hear a whistling noise. The whistling noise gets loader as it comes closer. Then thump, followed by silence. lol
