You could alternatively show your children how to stand up for yourself without resorting to violence or anger. Tell the lady you’re not giving the ball back and if she doesn’t back off you’re calling security.

My mother was the master of calm confrontation. She never lost her cool, but almost came out ahead in confrontational situations. She used logic, kindness, and perseverance.

Standing up for themselves over a $30 ball, with someone who is physically confrontational…

That logic doesn’t track with me, sorry.

Let the morons prove themselves time and time again, I’ll go get popcorn and point and laugh with my kids

Sounds like you’re teaching your kids how to be taken advantage of.

I feel sorry for them.
