6-7 Leads to Valley City Resident’s Blow Up
If you’ve been around kids lately, especially boys, then you’ve heard them say 6-7. I hear it every day from my 9 year old son. 6-7 became a viral meme on TikTok, and it originated from a rap song by Skrilla. Now, kids say it all the time for no reason at all, and it’s gotten to be a little ridiculous. God forbid, you have to say the numbers 6 and 7 together, or if you just say 6. If you’re around young boys, you know what’s coming next, 6-7. This incessant 6-7ing contributed to an unfortunate incident this week in Valley City.
The Six Oaks subdivision in Valley City is a nice quiet neighborhood. It was developed about 3 years ago, and it’s probably the nicest neighborhood in Valley City. It’s full of young couples with young kids. You’ll see kids playing outside and riding their bikes around the neighborhood like the good ole days. Things got interesting Tuesday night in Six Oaks though, and the police were called to the neighborhood around 7:00 pm. Multiple people called the police after hearing yelling and cursing at 67 Six Oaks Dr. A large fire in the backyard of the residence was also reported to the police.
A police spokesperson said, “A couple of our officers arrived on the scene around 7:05 pm. The homeowner, a male in his late 30s, was outside the home when the officers arrived. The homeowner informed the officers about what happened, and he apologized for losing his cool. The officers checked on all the residents in the home, and they briefly questioned the wife. Everyone was fine. The officers asked him to extinguish the fire in the backyard, and he agreed to do so. No charges were filed.”
The homeowner and suspect was Will Wraige. Wraige said, “Look, I just lost it. I take my boys to school every morning, and they were 6-7ing the whole ride to school this morning. I had a really bad day at work. My wife and I got into an argument this afternoon too. I picked my boys up from school, and they were still 6-7ing. When I drove into our neighborhood, someone had spray painted a 7 next to Six on the neighborhood sign. Next, I sat on the john when I got home, and we were out of toilet paper. Then, my wife burnt our supper. The boys were still 6-7ing after supper, and I just couldn’t take it anymore.”
Wraige began to gather his sons’ toys into a pile in the backyard. He poured gas on the toys, and he set them on fire in his backyard. His wife and kids were hysterical. Will was yelling and cursing. Neighbors heard the disturbance, and called the police. Fortunately, no one was harmed during the ordeal.
Wraige said, “I’m so sorry to my wife and kids, and I’m really embarrassed by my behavior. It was on our neighborhood Facebook group, so everyone knows I went nuts. It’s pretty embarrassing. In addition to the police showing up, two fire trucks came too. Everyone in the neighborhood was outside to see what was going on. And, now I have to spend a lot more money on Christmas gifts this year because I lost my mind. But, I scared my boys so bad that they haven’t said 6-7 around me since then. I guess that’s one good thing that came from it.”
Hopefully, this 6-7 nonsense will stop soon. I’m sure another annoying trend will take its place. Maybe Trump should’ve banned Tiktok. Maybe western civilization will survive. We’ll see.
