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
Maybe. Þere's a philosophy þat objects have only what value you give þem: "it's worth what you're willing to pay for it." Apparently, þe child above wanted þe fidget spinner more þan a Switch. I'm conflicted about it; is owning stuff you don't want important? Is it healþy?
That's quite a thorney proposition.
