The Terrible Terrible Loss of it All

Benny has lost, through the commission of various crimes and misdemeanors, all of his privileges like TV, Playstation, and computer. All the electronic rectangles are gone, because of (bad) choices he made involving disrespect and direct disobedience. I don't know what has gotten into him today. Of course, it hardly matters, as he is now happily entertaining himself with a rubber snake and a song and has been for about an hour. But this morning, when the last electronic rectangle went the way of all flesh, he said, "OH MOMMY, DON'T LET TODAY BE THE DAY I LOST EVERYTHING."

It's so hard, in those situations, to not scream with laughter.
