OK...is this?
1. a cute story
2. a story about a kid who doesn’t know right from wrong
3. a mom who has lost faith her son will do the right thing
4. a mom who is too dumb to use strong security on her phone
5. a nice story about mom donating the suckers after she got them for free
6. another “look at me” social media play
7. A kid who needs his ass beat................
4.
It could be any of the choices, or combination thereof.
Mom got off easy. Far worse can happen when you let your kid play on your phone unsupervised with no safeguards or parents controls in place. And in just a few short years, that kid will be able to get around parental controls and get into some real trouble.
YES to nos. 2,3,4 at least.
I’d say all six.
7. A mom who does not have a dad in the house for the boy
Lighten up Francis
Damn killjoy, grinch, wet blanket
8. A missed opportunity.
The cases contain 2,300 pops each (roughly $.06 per unit).
Sell them for $.10 each, 3 for $.25, or 6 for $.50.
Pay Mom back, keep the profits. Average profit ratio is $.03 each unit. 22 cases, 2,300 units per case, total 50,600 pieces, $1,500 in profit.
Yeah, it would take a while to sell them all, but the kid will learn a lot more having to hawk them daily for the next two years than Mommy making it all go away.

In school, gum was not allowed. Every Monday, I would buy a $.25 pack of Bubbalicious gum (5 pieces, $.05 per piece).
At school, I would sell them for $.10 each.
Tuesday, with my sales, I would buy 2 packs. Wednesday, 4. By Friday morning I had 16 packs. I’d make $8 to use at the mall or save. Some kids would buy from me everyday; I had regulars. Occasionally, I would give them extra gum to show my appreciation for them being a regular.
Always kept some money in reserves for inventory.
Even as a kid, I was hustling.
Dad was impressed.
