I'd absolutely blame my friend. That doesn't mean I'd lay less blame on the cops for shooting at my kids, when they KNOW it was my friend who did it, not my kids. I can't stay out of the way of the cops if they come to me, to burn down my house. Me and my kids deserve protection from that.

I pronounced it 'high-per-bowl' for years, mainly because in Dutch it's 'hyperbool' (hee-per-bowl), which is derived from the French pronunciation. I heard it pronounced differently, looked it up and learned something about the evolution of languages. ❤️

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 😁
