However, the Karen did not deserve this much effort from you, OP. That is for sure. She has not right telling you what to do and what not to. Using chalk on the sidewalk makes your kids happy, let them do it again. Just make sure you are cleared from the law. Societal laws can vary society to society, hopefully there isn’t one in OP’s society that bans people from using chalk on sidewalks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via Valuable<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via KyleSiler<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via GNEAlex22<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via TheOneTrueLang<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via raz037<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via guyfelicella<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via khadley11<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via TaylorDawn_<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via ChristeeDoubleE<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Via SaraBWarf<\/a><\/p>\n I really hope you guys enjoyed this one.
