Most kids today have a TV, radio & CD player in the bedroom. If the parents wanted to punish the kid , send him to their bedroom. As I heard from a comedian once.
Anyone who’s ever raised teenagers knows that the only response you can make to something like that is rolled eyes. My teens make soap operas look downright bland.
I had tin soldiers that I could position around my room. My parents let me have rubber bands from their newspapers. I could shoot the rubber bands at the tin soldiers. Water would accumulate on the inside of the single pane glass windows so I could lick it off. Spiders and ants would sometimes come into my room and that kept me fed pretty well. Of course you don’t need much when you can’t leave your room. So I didn’t need much.
napaeric, in your fevered state did you consider launching the tin soldiers through the window with the rubber bands? Of course, the repair would probably have come from your allowance…

But this ‘toon isn’t about Elliot, it’s about the parents, and I love their completely unmoved reactions to his emoting.

He’s going to be scarred for life from this unfair punishment.
His low self-esteem will lead him to a life of debauchery and over compensation.
And his parents are ignoring his plaintive pleas… how could they.
If anyone thought that load of carp was serious….oh please.

If the parents want to punish the child, send him to the laundry room. Pretty boring there.

I’m proud of the parents for tuning out Elliot.
