Damn Dad, you are one mean dude!! That contraption looks like something from "SAW".

In the long term, he'll learn some tough lessons for later in life. In the short term, teach that boy how to throw a right hook. He'll need it to protect his face and your investment!

if anything hits his face it will probably put his cheek right through that ****ing metal contraption.

SAW is a good analogy!!!!!

It sure as hell wasn't my idea. I feel bad for him. He never appeared to look "out of whack" to me or anyone else that has seen him, so I am not sure how my wife got him signed up for this shit. I thought some braces would be fine but this thing is insane.

just be happy that you can get whatever problem he has fixed now...one of the worst things you can have as you get older are messed up teeth....plus its true most kids cant even afford braces so while he may get harassed for a few months it is much better for him in the long run...

Language aside, that nearly had me spewing water all over my keyboard. That is the definite winner.

I would tell him to pick up a brick, hold it behind his back, walk behind the young offender, tap him on the shoulder, and as soon as the kid turns around, tell your boy to smash him in the mouth.

Then as the kid lays there screaming with his teeth in his hands, your son should say, "Now you can join the club".

He should just look them in the eye, then shrug, and turn away. People will only continue to tease if they get a reaction.

What your son has are called "herps," my little sister had those as well. If I was your son I would be thankful I had those, it's either these, or rubber bands for a good long while. The herps dramatically reduce the amount of time spent in braces.

Bingo.

My sons are 7 & 5 they have been going with me to practice Martial Arts since before they could walk. I get together with some long time buddies for lack of a better term a informal fight club thing once a month (we throw some cash in a hat and the winner takes the cash and has to take his wife or gf or both to dinner w/the cash ). My wife tries to get my boys into other activities but it ain't working. For me knowing they know how to take down their enemies is as important as getting good grades. They both love to fight and race their karts ,but they must earn them with good grades. Kids will tease you about anything and boys are ruthless. Crap I'm a old fart and still love to rip my buddies a new one. Teasing is good it toughens you up. Most of us grew up with teasing and were fine. Okay a few go off and shoot up the place.


Plan B if your son doesn't like to fight is depending on well your doing financially he can tell the teaser that " my dad can buy and sell your family so f_ck off pheasant".

I would go with the first idea, nothing as satisfying maximum anguish with a minimum of movement. Makes it harder for the teacher to spot who did it.

Yeah I have anger management issues.
