A little story about an idiot

Up here we have this thing called big brothers big sisters. I'm pretty sure it's in the US as well. Last year I took on a little brother and we hung out and crap. Then he got older and we parted ways. I thought he moved far away, until I got an email about some games I was selling locally. It was him (he didn't know it was me). So I email back all like "hey what's up, I'll just give you the game old friend".

So I go over the next day wondering why a 14 year old who had an XBOX wanted an old NES game. So I asked and he says the old lady across the street game him one. I said that was great I'd love to see it. So we go up to his cow pen mess of a room and there is the glossiest mintiest NES control deck box lying on his bed that I have EVER hands down ever seen.

It gets worse, I look around the room and there are baggies and twist ties scattered about and I closely inspect the console and it is flawless. One of the controllers was still bagged and it was dead obvious the way the twist ties were on there that this controller was NEW. I asked him very specifically about it and I'm dead certain this kid opened a brand new console. He said the little old lady had two of them and gave his brother the other but it wasn't in a box?? Anyways, I almost cried and begged him to sell me the box. This is what the little twarp told me, "Nah, they sell for hundreds on ebay".

  • Holy crap, that's really messed up.  I'm resisting the urge to accuse you of being a bad mentor image
  • Beat his ass and steal it before he wakes up. That is a harsh story.
  • I told him to not even touch that other controller. I'm gonna bring him one of mine and then I'll have a factory wrapped controller. Kinda cool and better than nothing I figure.
  • what a dumb kid
  • He's what, 15? Just grab the box and run! lol That's sad after all those times you hung out with him, kids... no respect these days.

    Ehhem.
  • Ya he's a troubled little 14 year old. He'll be in jail one day I'm sure. I'm sure I'll be able to trade him some popular games for the controller and box. I'll give it a shot at least.

  • If he'd be in jail, he wouldn't notice the sudden loss of his console, would he now?
