It was all innocent fun

I remember the time we were all hanging out in the local schoolyard, watching a touch football game in the snow. A group of us wandered off and we soon got into a snowball fight. My side was winning as we bombarded two of our friends who were standing in front of a two-family house.
Inevitably, some of our snowballs hit the house and the owner came out. When he called us names, we pelted him and his house with snowballs until he went in. Bored, we went back to watching the game not knowing this guy had called the cops. He identified a few of us, including me. I went into little kid mode.
Tears welled in my eyes as I was tossed into the back seat of the car. I pleaded my case, explaining how the snowball fight was just fun and we didn’t mean to hit the house. To appease the homeowner, the cops drove me around the corner and let me out where he couldn’t see.
One of my mother’s friends did see, however, and I was soon in big trouble with my parents. It wasn’t nearly as easy to convince them that it was all innocent fun.

straight forward, well-remembered, and simply effective.
