Parents don't often tell their children what they can expect to get for Christmas, but thanks to some creative parenting, one Toronto-area teen knows exactly what he won't be getting.Of course, the real kicker here... is knowing your child's currency.
That's because his dad is selling what would have been his Christmas present — the popular video game Guitar Hero III — on eBay, after he caught the 15-year-old smoking pot in the backyard of the family home.
"After I caught him getting high on my patio I did the typical yelling, screaming, kicking out the friends, etc..." the father writes. "But I had not decided on a suitable way to punish him ... Anyways, I am now finding it hard to justify rewarding him with this gift after he so greatly disappointed me."**********
"I am still considering getting him a game for his Nintendo," the seller writes.
"Maybe something like Barbie as the Island Princess or Dancing With the Stars. These games are in stock everywhere I go, and I know he will just love them."
"Merry Xmas Isaac. I hope you've learned your lesson."
FROM THE COMMENTS:
"This is what lefties refer to as child abuse. The government should sue the father on behalf of the teenager. It's not like the kid was convicted in court etc. ad nauseum..."Now, before I get 6 gazillion emails from aging hippies about the peerless health benefits of sparking up a breakfast doob... please note that this post is not about the morality or wisdom of embracing or rejecting dope.
It's about making choices... and the undeniable consequences of same.
