Itsa me, Luigi!

This story is ridiculous. If you don't have the time to read it, it's about a mother who had her 12 year old arrested for opening his Christmas presents early. Arrested.

The present? A Game Boy. The mother's excuse for his behavior? ADD.

"My grandmother went out of her way to lay away a toy and paid on this thing for months," said the boy's mother.

Now, perhaps I am a bit naive, but maybe a Game Boy isn't the best present for a kid with ADD in the first place.

The mother said that the kid's ADD medication was not working, and she wanted to teach him a lesson. Since I know the answers to everything, I know that taking the damn toy back to the store would quite possibly be a better solution. Maybe that's just crazy talk though.

What's worse id that the police did what she asked rather than tell to her to wise the f up as they had better things to do.

Everyone knows you take your kid's add medication and sell it to your crazy sister, anyway, sheesh. (true story: my sister hurt her back last winter, was prescribed percoset, and traded it all for adderal. Kids.)

Monty- that was the other thought going through my mind as well.

Indigo- I'm going to keep that one in the memory bank for later...you never know.
