You gave your son a big bundle of money after he finished high school and said he wanted to go to the University of Pennsylvania to go to law school.

However after he leaves you are shocked to discover through your friend, a toned hispanic man called Sanchez who does minor league boxing fights in Vegas, that instead of going to law school your son went to Las Vegas and used the money to open a bar.

When you confront your son, he says:

"Yeah I lied but I knew if I told you I was going to open a bar, you wouldn't have given me the money. I did what I had to do to achieve my goals."



How do you react?
What do you do?

I'd be pissed for him lying to me especially for lying to me just to get money. But I'd still root for him to have a successful business/career

Why was so much detail about Sanchez put into this one?

Just curious. I'm hoping he's a recurring character. Seems interesting.

"Son, I would have supported you no matter what you decided to do. I'm not upset that you opened a bar, I'm upset that you lied to me about it."

I would then become heavily involved in making the bar a success and hopefully bonding with my son in the process.

So this is what you meant by passing the bar.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

Call my accountant. I probably got the money from an RESP and I'm going to need to understand the tax ramifications of this.

@UnfairRepresent
pretty sure if you set up a fight like that they'd just hug it out then decide to beat the fuck out of you...

You act like your kid can't take the same money and go to college just to flunk out, which would the same waste of money. Like I said, pissed that he lied to me, that's the issue. But if he'd rather try to open his own business rather than go to college I'm not against that, just wish he'd have been up front with me because I'd have supported him.

@UnfairRepresent
Wesley since he's much bigger

Pound for pound Sanchez is fitter and better at fighting but there's a reason why Frank Mir never fought Sean Sherk.

That being said I don't think Wesley would want to fight anyone

That's a good point

Any armchair accountants want to chime in?

You raised him to believe extremist capitalist ideals like college equal success, so he skipped a few steps ahead and cheated you, like a true capitalist would

Sanchez vs. Prime Bruce Lee, Wesley vs. Prime Mike Tyson. Who wins?

Sanchez easily since Bruce Lee wasn't a real fighter

Tyson easily since Wesley isn't a real fighter
