That's rather awesome, obviously unfortunate if that guy could have caught it but it is what it is there and after it happened it sounds like everyone handled it very well and that father has the right outlook on living with his son.
His sense of entitlement that as long as he has a great time, whatever he does is OK doesn’t sit well with me. If he was on a golf course watching a tournament and stole a golf ball that was in play, because he was trying to show his kid a good time, I don’t think he’d be getting many pats on the back here.
