Captain Destructo

Hunter's nickname is Captain Destructo with good reason.  He was begging to wear Jacob's tie to church.  Since Jacob was wearing his other tie, I didn't see why it would be a problem.  Jacob was not in harmony with this idea.  He pouted and pouted because he didn't want Hunter to wear his "favorite" tie.  I reasoned with him that it was a TIE.  It would be fine! 
Jacob asked, "But what if Hunter ruins it?" 
"Then I will go to Kohl's and buy you a brand new one."  I responded. 
Boy did I have to eat those words.  Apparently Hunter wanted the tie off during his class and this is the result.  I asked why he didn't ask his teacher for help.  He told me she wouldn't do it for him.  I investigated further and found that she was actually dispersing snacks at the moment he asked.  He just was too impatient to wait for her.  Jacob had valid reasons for his concern over his favorite tie.  On a related note, Hunter is now banned from borrowing any of Jacob's clothing and/or accessories.
