I just got busted for....

how is tweed getting alcohol?  is someone buying it for him, or is he sneaking it from his parents?

My mother and grandparents are upset, naturally.  My dad doesn't know yet, although when he does find out it's unlikely he has much of a reaction.

Honestly you ought to have the tar beat out of you by your dad. That's what I'd recommend.

That's unlikely at this point, for a handful of reasons

a) I have about four inches on him, I could take him in a second
b) he wouldn't be all that upset

There are other reasons, but I won't post them of course.

And also, we don't really beat children up north.  at least it isn't commonplace.

you have a lot to learn.
