LOL! You have style. :)
If you want a lesson to stick in the memory you gotta make it worthy of remembrance.
Like when I tossed my Daughter's video game out of the car window straight into a creek. Now when I say: "You can take Door number one which is "follow the rules" or You can take door number two which is: "suffer the consequences"...
Since that time she has NEVER taken "door number two" !!!
What a well thought out response. I noticed you still haven’t answered questions posted to you either.
The guy did the right thing. I have a teen son. You have to do things to catch their attention and keep it. Shooting the laptop definitely did that. Going public did it as well.
Is he perfect? Nope. But your comments prove that you are rather petty. Defend your post but don’t go to potty comments. That is for DU.
You’ll never recover from that clever repartee, will you? Bwahaha!!
As an addition, this guy is great! From his Facebook:
“Pre Viral: Spent 1 month raising money for MDA on Facebook. Earned $320.00
Post Viral: Spent 2 days raising money for MDA on Facebook. Earned another $3,050.00 with no sign of slowing down so far...”
Yeah, I guess it’s just that it’s a waste of a perfectly good computer. An expensive lesson for that girl, I guess.
Heck *I* got the vapors when I read this, for the opposite reason. Swoon!
Let me guess.... she’d be put into a foster home where a bigger boy or someone will abuse her for real.
Our “Rosa Parks” cultural moment maybe?
Maybe, just maybe, the monetary value of a laptop fell somewhere below the value of a good lesson to his beloved, immature, daughter.
Aaaaah Waaaaa....
Would have been more dramatic to blast it with my 12 gauge or drive over it with tractor.
And he complains about her language—doesn’t take much to figure where she learned that from!
I’m still licking my wounds....^snicker^
>>I am silenced by such erudition, Netmilsmom; how ‘bout you? <<
Seriously, your response was very elegant.
I am impressed!
The drama king of Youtube responds to the drama queen of facebook. The drama queen is fifteen and the drama king is in his forties. He showed her.
I was just trying to be sarcastic, but thanks. Anything for Tommy Jordan!
When my oldest son was one, I figured out the flood of money from grandparents, aunts and uncles belonged in the savings account. We did not give that money to the children so they could buy every piece of junk their friends’ hearts desired.
When they were teens and they worked to pay for their sports equipment, car insurance, dates and gas, that money saved up from relatives - and the interest - came in handy for college expenses. It aided both sons to graduate with no debt and they are not obsessive shoppers and wanters of stupid things they don’t need - raging materialists.
In many ways, this showboat made for reality tv “dad” is an idiot.
Your parents didn’t whip your ass enough!!!
Except for that time back in '75 when I blew a 69 Volkswagen Beetle out of my butt. Then again I was drinking heavily at the time.
Your sarcasm is art!
thank you! LOL. yes...when all else fails, look at the very top of the article, sheesh!
