Torture

[Pete]

OK so Boy is on the bus because he just txt me begging to go to Best Buy to get Black Ops. He is serious because he even spelled everything correctly.

For the last 3 weeks he has done extra chores and saved up his allowance money, he has put together quite a compelling argument.

So I replied "Oh I don't know, I might be too tired to go back out once I get home. "

I got the dejected "Ok"

So should I tell him that I got it for him today at lunch time, or let him suffer until I get home?

Suffer.

 

[sanchezf]

Let him suffer till you get home.

The look on his face will be worth the wait.

Ahhh good Dad!!!

 

[aps45819]

milk the suffering,

 

[MJ]

You have to tell him so he can brag about it on the bus.

He'll be tortured enough waiting for you to get home.

 

[cattitude]

I would put it under his pillow.

 

[Pete]

I am waiting, I know right now he is trying to figure out how to broach the subject and plead some more without pissing me off.

It has been 7 minutes since the last message. 8 more minutes should be just about when he comes up with something good and txts me again.

Remember the year I hid his Christmas presents in HIS closet because he always snooped in mine? That was priceless when I went in and got them out and he realized they were in his room the whole time

 

[RoseRed]

Don't answer him.

Yeah.

Type up a letter "for being a good kid, doing extra chores, etc...you won " Put the letter in the mailbox and send him out to check mail.

You have to torture a little more when he gets home so you can watch and get a good laugh before you give it to him.

He already has a list on the "chore board"

Scoop poop
Swiffer
Unload dishwasher


Maybe I should txt him 5 or 6 more. He might use it as an opportunity to show his undying love and appreciation for me

 

[Pete]

Aww thats so 'dorable.

You will have your turn.

 

[SoMDGirl42]

send him to the news link about the heist up the road and none of the best buys here got their shipment because of the robbery.

If he cooks dinner and cleans his room, you'll take him to waldorf to see if they have any.

 

[Pete]

I am impressed, I knew it would be good.

He just asked if I wanted to go to Panera Bread for dinner
