Your Kids Are NOT Always Right

There is something to say about a parent who goes the extra mile to back up their child. You love your kid. You don’t want people to take advantage of them. You back most anything they do. I think this is universal for most parents.
But, it can go too far. Take as an example this Florida story I just read. Joe Salter’s son, Tommy, graduated from Georgia Tech and to celebrate he went to Club 10, a nudie bar in Fort Walton Beach. According to Joe Salter, Tommy told the strip club employees he could only spend $600.
Then, Tommy went on to rack up (heh) a $53,000 bill that that. According to the club’s owner, Tommy purchased at least 19 bottles of champagne that each cost between $150 and $2,000. Sounds like Tommy likes his lap dances.
Daddy, though, is disputing the charges on the American Express card, saying employees at the bar took advantage of his son. Although Tommy signed each bill and even initialed itemized receipts, Daddy says it is not his son’s handwriting.
Of course, he is overlooking the fact that his son was probably tipsy and sexed-up, so his handwriting could certainly have taken a beating that night. Employees at the club maintain Tommy was lucid the entire evening.
And get this: American Express has already decided in Club 10’s favor. I’m sure it’s not the first time they have seen the charges that result when a young boy walks into a strop bar and starts thinking with something besides his brain.
My message to Daddy: wake up and realize that kids do not always walk on water.
My message to Tommy: try celebrating with a nice dinner and friends instead of some coke whore’s boobs next time. It’ll save more than face.
