Because you stole liquor. It seems you still don't think it's that big of a deal.
There are consequences for unacceptable behavior. I didn't and still don't believe in grounding kids as punishment. It's more of a prison sentence for me than it was for them. So I used more creative means:
-A five page research paper on alcoholism
-A ten page research paper on fetal alcohol syndrome
-An interview with a corrections officer
-An interview with a rape crisis center manager
-Attendance at five (5) AA meetings and five (5) Alanon meetings
-A 100 question test that I've created about local & State laws concerning theft, underage drinking penalties and who the local Judges, Magistrates and Civil Servants that serve our community
You have a month to complete. Or, not.
Do you really want to FAFO what would happen next?
