Some of you might remember a thread I posted not to long ago asking whether it would be a good idea to let my 16 year old use my credit card for certain purchase or whether I should try a different approach. (Thread is here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=10906). I decided to simply put money in his checking account and let him use his checks or debit card.
Well--my birthday was this weekend and after all the presents had been unwrapped (including the picture of the BW edge sander I bought myself :D ), he coyly says "whoops, almost forgot one".) A couple of weeks ago while installing some speakers in the shop so I could have some serious tunes, I mentioned that I was thinking of putting a TV in as well. So what's in the box he lugs downstairs? Yup-a brand new 19" TV, purchased entirely with his own hard-earned money, from his very first real job. I was speechless for more than a couple of minutes. Now I can watch the Olympics 24 hours a day!
Whatta guy! :D :D
