Today, after twelve straight hours of work, my fourteen year old son surprised me with a broken window and a cracked TV. He said, "I was swatting away a fly." FML

Yeah, kids these days have no respect for the parents who work hard to get them a nice fly. No, they just swat it away.

I was thinking more along the lines of a baseball bat.

I believe this is a reference to another FML where the parent came home to holes in the wall from the kid trying to swat a fly with a hammer.

What was he using to swat the fly?! A hammer? Fyl indeed, but he is plenty old enough to work the cost of the new window and TV off!!!

he could still do yardwork for neighbors and friends. any little odd jobs, at least to help cover the cost. a little honest work is good for the soul, and it will help teach him both caution and responsibility. sorry op. that sucks.

That's no excuse for breaking a window and the television. But if it was a spider on the other hand...

If it was a spider, the son should get in even more trouble for not doing more to kill the spider.

Burning the house down is probably the least you could do when seeing a spider.
