Boy brings home the "book club" flyer so I can dish out some cash so he can have another book laying around unread. I refuse. Well this time he wants the "Spy University Training Manual" for $7.95 and you get a FREE SPY KIT!
I still say no. 
So he works me like a rib bone for a few days. Finally I agree to terms.
TO WIT:
Boy SHALL recieve the funds to purchase "The Spy University Training Manual WITH Free Spy Kit, upon successful reading of 30 pages in the Tree House #25 book.
Superdad SHALL sit and have above named book read to him, assist with the sounding out of words, suffer nearly intollerable stammering, starting stopping, be supportive, cheerful and happy.
Through great pain Boy accomplishes his task just in the nick of time.
Spy kit comes, it is great.
HOWEVER...........................................................
It is not JUST the spy kit, it is a monthly deal. Every month you get something in the mail. I knew this and figured WTF. Well the package arrived today. Boy is giddy with excitement........tears it open and it is.
A PIRATE KIT !
For the low low price of $16.50 Boy is the proud owner of...............
One large chicken feather cleverly disguised as a writing quill.
One small jar of ink.
One very chinzy compass on a string.
2 pieces of 3/8th inch rope, yes ROPE, people. One piece is about 9 inches long and one piece about a foot.
And a 40 or so page book about pirates.
All contained in a cheesy cardboard box made to look like a treasure chest.
Total worth? Aproximately $5 depending of course the going rate for chicken feathers.
So now I have to go through the never ending process of trying to cancel it.
I have to clean up the ink that got spilled now.
