Guess What He Was Stealing.
Gum? Money? Food for his starving family?
Yeah, right.
Nail polish? Water bottle? A Car?
Mom come on. This Is Serious.
A gerbil?
He was stealing shoes.
Like left his shoes in the store and tried to walk out with new shoes?
No. He put the new shoes into his backpack. Got picked up by the police.
Oh My G-d. That must've been so embarrassing. Can you imagine how he felt having to call his parents with that one? Oy.
Oh yeah Mom. His parents were really pissed. He's grounded for six months. But you know what Mom if he was my kid I wouldn't've grounded him.
(pause)
I would've had a much better punishment.
Uh-huh?
I would've taken away ALL his shoes.
And he would've had to go around barefoot?
No. Worse than that.
Worse?
I would have left him with only one pair of shoes.
I don't think that's much of a punishment G.
Oh yeah it is. I would've left him with Crocs.
Complaint Tie-In:
Kids who shoplift shoes and get grounded have absolutely nothing to complain about because had G. been asked for advice they would have a way worse punishment.
This is really a true story. I was sad to read this story. It reminded me of my friend's past which I forgot but now he is the careful boy he does a job with Report Writing Helpservice.
