As sweet as the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” letter.
Sometimes I wonder why parents even try to instill conservative thinking in their children since once again they are the “chump” for actually teaching their kids there is no free ride. When I read this article I immediately thought about how my father would have handled this situation with my brothers. It would have never occurred to him in a million years to have them pen a letter to the company asking for a free replacement. If anything he would have had them perform extra chores if they wanted to raise some money for a replacement.
