    Why terrifying? It's a take off on the Mastercard commercial. I know that nowadays we tend to throw money at our kids. But these were birthday, Christmasgifts, clothes for school, and reward system for good grades.I"m also trying to describe him with the items I listed. I guessed on most of the prices, what they would be.

    Good idea about ebay for witty tees...

    Thanks for reading and the comment.

    Aww this is so clever I love your take on this title!
    It shows what we wouldn't do g=fror our kids cos we love them so much. I actaully found this quite an emotional write because the last line tied it altogether so well
    All the best with this. It's different!
