Dayum! And I thought that I was literal...

It's not about recouping her monetary loss. It's about an effective punishment. This gets the little delinquent right where it hurts. Not only doesn't he get to play with his video game...it's gone...sold. And to add a little salt to his wound...he still has the games themselves, that he gets to sit and look at longingly.

That went out when we started allowing interfering, nosy busybodies get into our business and start telling us how best to raise our children. After all...it takes a village.
