I remember selling a bag of skittles in elementary school for $10. Naturally I had to give the money back, and naturally I did not get my skittles back.

If the kid isn’t old enough to understand value of objects maybe they ain’t old enough to be taking a fucking switch to school.

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work. Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom closet to watch. The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already. The little boy says, “Dark in here.” The man says, “Yes, it is.” Boy: “I have a baseball.” Man: “That’s nice” Boy: “Want to buy it?” Man: “No, thanks.” Boy: “My Dad’s outside.” Man: “OK, how much?” Boy: “$250” In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together. Boy: “Dark in here.” Man: “Yes, it is.” Boy: “I have a baseball glove.” The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, “How much?” Boy: “$ 750” Man: “Sold.” A few days later, the Dad says to the boy, “Grab your glove, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.” The boy says, “I can’t, I sold my baseball and my glove.” The Dad asks, “How much did you sell them for?” Boy: “$1,000” The Dad says, “That’s terrible to over charge your friends like that…that is way more than those two things cost. I’m taking you to church, to confession.” They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door. The boy says, “Dark in here.” The priest says, "Don’t start that shit with me again, kid.”

My brother had a friend who was not taught the value of other people’s things. He would steal stuff from us, and when we told our mother, she found out where he lived and confronted his mother. The guy’s mother told my mother that her kids (my brother and I) deserved to be stolen from, we let the thief into the house and were too weak to stop him. IIRC we got our stuff back, but we were told not to have that guy over anymore. Even odder still, my brother is still friends with this guy. He lives in an RV and dresses like a Count. Cape and all. I shit you not. Dude is weird. He went to shake my hand. He was wearing white bejeweled gloves. Like rhinestones or some shit. Yes, I checked my pockets after. Had my wife check hers, too.

Do parents not teach their kids the value of shit these days? My parents made sure I knew the Gameboy I got was basically equivalent to the crown jewels and I'd probably be drawn and quartered if I ever lost it

Reminds me when my son came home with Xbox X. Said kid from school gave it to him. Went to kids house grandma had no clue he just gave away this expensive gift she got him. In the end though grandma said he can do what he wants and why we have an Xbox X.
