A Chinese girl likes to play online games–but her parents don’t approve.
But there was still $.07 left in the bank account.
Four months and you don’t know money is being drawn from your account until a teacher mentions it? Big mistake on the parents’ part.
The kid was downright duplicitous though. Grounded for life.
One side of our family is full of teachers and principals. One saying they love is “The kids that are the toughest to raise, are the ones who’ll end up running things.”
I’d bet “Unnamed Child from Henan” is going to be a mover and a shaker someday.
Yes, hopefully the parents will get over their rage in time to redirect that energy to something less destructive.
I have a cousin with a pack of wild kids and some day one of them will absolutely pull something like this. It’s always “V locked me in the bathroom today” or “the girls poured an entire bottle of honey on their sister.” I’m glad it’s not me, but I really see those kids as likely to be strong, persevering and independent in the future. Especially because I live on the flip side of this, with a child who gets into so little trouble it’s genuinely concerning.
I’d bet the child is going to be running a ponzi scheme or other fraudulent business…
That sounds like what their future defense lawyer is going to plead when he tries to mitigate their sentencing…
If I had $64K sitting in the bank, about $60K would be in a savings account from which only I or my wife could transfer funds into a fluid account. This is on the parents, for bad money hygiene.
If I had $64K sitting in the bank, I’d’ve invested $50K of it…
By the way, that saying that the teachers love (“The kids that are the toughest to raise, are the ones who’ll end up running things.”)… it gets used with parents of kids too smart, and/or too ADHD, for their own good. It’s meant to tell the parents “Look, we know little Tasmanian Darrell is too much for you sometimes, but hang in there. He may turn out great.”
The biggest troublemaker from my childhood circle of friends is now a state legislator.
Never mind.
A position in which they can make lots more trouble!
– which may have been your point.
Wouldn’t it just be easier to steal the forklift from Home Depot if you’re going to kill someone there with it? How far away from Lowe’s did he have to drive to get to Home Depot?
Maybe Home Depot didn’t have a Lowe Rider available.
Go to your room.
What are the odds that the car you run into will have a person sleeping in it? And if you’re going to steal a car, wouldn’t you prefer one that hasn’t been hit by a forklift?
So many questions. Maybe I should just watch the Klaus video again.
If you had asked me if I could outrun a forklift, I would have said yes. Apparently that is not the case.
Well yeah. I imagine they can hit 10 mph at least.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t know many 73 year old women who can be suddenly jolted awake past midnight while sleeping in their car instantly able to run 6 minute miles.
I’m considerably younger and can only dream of being limber enough to barely walk if I were sleeping in my car and suddenly needed to get elsewhere.
Well, she just woke up…
(I’m going to hell.)
It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
That forklift was Killdozer’s illegitimate child.
