[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 347892, member: 6546"] Well, well, well.... Isn't it interesting that not one person said "[I]O that's the thing now--high school students buy each other presents all the time for no reason[/I]." or "[I]Teens are ALWAYS looking for somebody to hold their money for them. How nice for difficult child to volunteer[/I]!" After reading all the responses, I honestly didn't realize that there was a market for all this stuff. Kids are paying cash for things found in a dumpster???? Teens are willing to pay big bucks for pop tarts??? I had no idea. (Told ya I can be dense!) But now after reading this, I can see difficult child doing a lot of these... Playing the "O I'm so pitiful!" game....selling stuff....charging other kids for "services" (although I'd prefer to think that the services she's selling are the 'homework' kind and not that other stuff!). So truthfully, she's probably doing some combination of all the above. [I]--sigh--[/I] So why is it that I worry about this kids future? She'll probably end up filthy rich from all of her "business practices" while the rest of us remain in the poor house! [/QUOTE]
