Today, my young stepdaughter decided that she should store her coins in my laptop's card reader slot and in the CD drive. I just bought the laptop last week. FML
If she's young enough to be putting coins in laptops, I imagine her pocket money is non existent or would take years to cover the cost of repairs unfortunately
#13 it's not the amount that's important, it's the consequence. It will teach her that if you play with something important and break it, you are responsible for paying to fix it. I think that's a very good idea, and teaches a valuable lesson at a young age.
You were "Young and Stupid" enough to do that when you were 18-19? I'm 19 at present, and I think I understood better than to do that by the time I was 13.
