tough love - Kent Ninomiya

Kent Ninomiya - Did you hear about the woman from Des Moines, Iowa who calls herself the “meanest mom on the planet?” She found alcohol in her 19 year old son’s car so decided to place a classified ad in the newspaper. It reads:
OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don’t love teenage son, selling car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet.”
The mean mom got about 70 calls from people who wanted to congratulate her for her meanness. The car already sold but she’s running the ad for another week anyway, just so everyone will know how mean she is. Wouldn’t it be nice if all parents could be so mean. That way fewer would have to mourn the loss of children who die in drunk driving accidents but have nice parents.
