She tells the kid early on to get into some trouble, she gave him permission. The kid should have never been grounded because his mom told him to get in trouble.
2 things. 1.) That is your opinion. 2.) You are wrong.
She never told him that he wouldn't be punished.
He's taking the knife out of the Cheese!
Do you think he wants some cheese?
Having permission to do something should free you of consequence and liability.

So if the bank president gives you permission to rob his bank that makes it ok?

The money does not belong to the bank president, he does not have the permission to give.

The Ball did not belong to the wife. It was his step fathers.

She did not give permission to take the ball, just to get into trouble. When he caused trouble he was punished. That is the Mom's fault.

She said "a little bit" of trouble. Stealing the ball was more than "a little bit.

Your quote is off. The mom says "Get into trouble, for crying out loud. Not too much, but some. You have my permission." She gives a quantity of trouble, not the level. So once again she was to blame. Check and mate.

You lost this argument 7 posts ago.

You lost at life since birth. Boom roasted. You are obviously wrong, get over it. His mom pushed him to get into trouble. she pushed him to make friends. If she would have let the little egghead stay inside by himself none of it would have happened. Once again check and mate.
P.S.
There is no need to say or do anything after checkmate because the game is over and you have lost.

This is the dumbest fvckin' thread I've ever seen lol.
"Skank!! You sank my destroyer!!"
You're both way overthinking a simple quote from a kid's movie.
shareGetting in trouble is part of being a kid, part of growing up and part of learning that there are consequences for one's choices. It's part of learning how to tell right from wrong even in new situations.
Had the mom said, "Go raise all the he(ck) you want and you'll not be punished or held accountable no matter what you do or whom you hurt," that would have been permission to do anything to anyone without getting into any trouble for doing so.
"Get in trouble," meant go out and be a kid and make some of those minor screw-ups most of us did as kids, and learned from as kids, before we were old enough and big enough to inflict serious damage in society.
Sure, let the kid be an egghead holed up in his room, having never met and made friends or learned how to evaluate and screen out the ones who are only going in the wrong direction.
Then set him loose when he's 18 or 21 and expect him to know how to take care of himself, how to choose friends who can have fun and raise some he(ck) without killing anyone or putting others at risk for death or serious harm, how to decide, "No, this one will not end well; I think I'll go hang out with someone else while you idiots destroying your own lives as well as others' lives," when his buddies are planning something stupid and/or dangerous.
And as a parent of elementary aged kids - I would say -
yes, she did cause the problem. But - if the choice was either having a child staying inside for another summer by himself working on his erector set or going out every day with a group of boys - and playing - getting into mild trouble, I would also choose the latter.
So, yes, what she did led to the "pickle" - but the alternative would have been worse for her. (And I would have agreed with her).

Very good. But brick not hit back!share
Smalls was certainly a different kid by the end of the movie, so the sexy mom... probably forgot about what she initially said? Maybe the step-dad convinced her to ground him? Bottom line: she didn't say there wouldn't be any consequences. I think she did the right thing.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
