"Can I punch myself in the face instead?"
Ever have a conversation like this with your kid? Let me go back to fill in some history that led up to this particular conversational tidbit...
James likes pretty things... He started taking things shiny and pretty things from others without them knowing several years ago.
James likes science... He borrowed his sister's Physics notebook and Physics textbook last year because he knows he has a lot to learn.
James likes stuffed animals... He nabbed his sisters teddy, stuffed cat, and other stuffed treasures and hid them in his room.
James loves video games... Today he took daddy's credit card, out of the wallet while daddy was sleeping to buy a new game for his 3DS. This card is used to buy many things that James wants and needs. James can't remember where it went after he used it. The 3DS and his other electronics have been confiscated until he finds the card.
James is distraught because the card is lost and his favorite past time is not happening until the card is back in daddy's possession.
Enter conversation from the top..... It is going to be a really long 3 day weekend!
