Teen charged with assaulting mom with taco
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- A 19-year-old Deltona man is arrested for assaulting his own mother, with a taco.
Dena Moir tells Fox 35 News her son, Zachary Moir, got out of control Wednesday night when she was calling him down for dinner. When he refused to stop playing his X-box and come down for dinner, Moir says she went upstairs and unplugged the game, that's when she says Zachary pushed her and called her a bad name.
"I've been having trouble with him for awhile won't work, wont' go to school," she said. "He's being rude and disrespectful. Pushing things to the limit as far as the violence.” A few minutes later Dena says she was in the kitchen cleaning and cooking tacos for dinner when Zachary showed up. That's when she says he slapped her arm and threw a taco in her face.
“He went ahead and hit me with the taco and I got taco all over my shirt and kitchen. I’ve threatened to call police before," she said. "But anyway this time, I thought he went too far so I called police and he's in jail now.”
Moir called cops and said she wants to press charges. Moir says Zachary has tried to call several times, but she's not picking up the phone yet. She says she's going to let him sit in his jail cell in Volusia County for a few days to teach him a lesson.
original story
My first thought... Tacowned!
My second thought... Dude is 19, but he still lives at home playing X-Box all day while his his mother cooks his dinner for him? WTF.
My third thought... Kid is probably such a delinquent BECAUSE mom lets him get away with thought #2, and jail will likely do nothing more than transform him from juvenile delinquent to adult delinquent/petty criminal. Nice parenting mom.
My fourth thought... Damn, I'm judgmental.
Little nerdlings rejoice!
Twins invent wedgie-proof underwear

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Wedgie-proof underwear earned 8-year-old twin boys a spot Friday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." Using rigged boxers and fabric fasteners to hold together some seams, Jared and Justin Serovich came up with the "Rip Away 1000."
"When the person tries to grab you — like the bully or the person tries to give you a wedgie — they just rip away," Justin explained Thursday by phone from Los Angeles, where the TV segment was taped Wednesday.
The third graders from Gables Elementary School began brainstorming one day after they were horsing around, giving each other the treatment. Their mother's partner sarcastically said someone ought to invent wedgie-proof underwear, the family said.
The project got the boys to the finals of a central Ohio invention competition earlier this year, followed by the television appearance.
