Anyone fine out if the kid that got the XBox360 BOX of coal was filmed or the story of the opening told? ;)

Eight years ago my then 18yr old son (Billy), a senior in high school, had a problem getting up @ 8am to help his dad do a job that he was specificly asked to do on that ONE morning out of very few that he was asked to help. At 9am I went to his room knocked on the door and said "time to get up Son" and back down stairs to wait. At 9:30 still no Billy. So I go to the kitchen and fill up a pitcher of water from the sink. Sure didn't take him long to get going after the shower in bed.
After that If I needed him for a next morning he set his alarm and if he slept thru it, all I had to do is say "Time to get up Son". He'd be ready in a respectable time.

There is a moral to this. Two words I use in this story. They are Respect and Son. Can't have one without the other. :)

Safe holidays to all.

Thank you sir. It's amazing how many (kids) on here can't remember what they read in the first line of a post.
 
It is certainly a gaming question, he just attached a nice story to go with it.

If anyone has heard, or has a link to the outcome, please let us know. :)
 
I'm 24, and when I visit my father (just this christmas actually), he insists on waking me up at 6am no matter how late I got in, or what we did the night before. But I get up out of respect, even though all I really want to do is strangle the man until he passes out so I can get some shut eye on my vacation.

Some kids are either just not raised properly, or just have rebelious personalities. My younger brother is the stark opposite of me - short fused, no respect for anyone, and even less respect for people's stuff. He is a prime candidate for the water/coal treatment.
 
I played ice hockey for a couple years when I was a kid (grades 5 through 9). My dad has always been a morning person and I've been a night person (on certain vacations from school some nights I would get home at 4:00 am and see him leaving for work). He used to come in at 4am on a saturday because I had practice, turn on my lights, tickle my feet and then steal the blankets :mad:
 
My dad was the devil at times. I'd come home at 6AM from a party (not drunk or inebriated, just coming home rather...early? Late? You know what I mean :p) and he'd wake me up at 9 or 10. Though I guess he could've woken me up at 8. And sometimes I hated him until I actually got up. I just wanted to sleep.

I think I can count the number of times I slept past 10 in the morning in that house on one hand...
