I LOVE your way of thinking.. These kids dont appreciate much of anything and expect everything. I just got finished making my son a quilt for his bed with a wolf panel... He loves it He was always complaining about how cold it is in our house. My comment Wear more clothes and some socks. We heat with propane and this winter the cost has about killed us so our furnace is on 61 on a good day..... LOL
Wish more kids appreciated the things they do have.
