Yeah. My first thought was, "Sure, I can---just watch me!" <g>

Exactly, to him it was great FUN, a wonderful topping to a wonderful day...
I'm glad I was able to see his joy in it at the time, while mortified for the
neighbor, I knew he wasn't trying to be nasty, just impulsive, and little
boys (and sometimes big ones) are entitled to those adventures sometimes.

I think here your choice of words was inappropriate. He KNOWS he CAN. I
probably would have used NO! here. With a very quick explanation of why
not---and maybe let him spray ME! <G>

I have to agree. I don't think it was appropriate to let him enjoy that adventure at the neighbor's expense.
