Bad conversation topic?

This might not be a good news article for in class discussion, but it's so crazy I had to share: Girls sued for delivering cookies starts like this:

Cookie Delivery Sparks $900 Medical Bill

DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - Two teenage girls who surprised their neighbors with homemade cookies late one night were ordered to pay nearly $900 in medical bills for a woman who says she was so startled that she had to go to the hospital.

Another article about the cookie incident, this one with a picture, starts like this:
Two teenage girls decided one summer's evening to skip a dance where there might be cursing and drinking to stay home and bake cookies for their neighbors.

Big mistake.

They were sued, successfully, for an unauthorized cookie drop on one porch.
