I don't usually think these greentext screenshots depicit real stories, but sometimes parents want to try to teach their kids some kind of life lesson but the delivery is horrible. My dad wanted to teach me one time that "all good things come to an end" so he decided to take my favorite lamp (something similar to a lava lamp) to the recycling station (it was in an okay condition, not ready yet for a dumpster). Thanks Dad, I learned nothing and it didn't at all prepare me for loss. Then again it could have been my mother who forced him to throw it away (because she can't have any joy if I do) so he had to come up with some kind of cover to comply.
