I call it a life lesson but there you go.
Dan Robinson Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Will find out in half an hour when he gets back from school - unless of course he's reading this - because I know his user name on this forum LOL. Boy - you're not that clever!!!! ? To be fair to him he has been spending a lot of time lately planning ways to make himself money. The current, genuinely good idea, is upcycling.

Take him to the nearest shop you can find and tell him he can have whatever he wants , once’s he’s finished taking everything to the counter asking him how he’s going to pay for it ? When he looks at you all confused tell him “that’s the reality of life son , sometimes you can’t have what you want unless you can pay for it yourself !” Then elbow him out of the way and buy yourself something REALLY EXPENSIVE ! Be a valuable life lesson for him ? ???? Lozart, Shamal and Tackle 3
