Nice Going, Buddy
One of the advantages of smartphones these days is that butt dialing isn’t really possible, at least not easily. Something like this might not have happened with today’s phones, and the man who told this story might not have gotten in trouble.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t in such a situation at the time of this story, and his parents learned of his nefarious antics thanks to a butt dial. What a way to go out on a high note. At the very least, he can say he wasn’t caught for his own stupidity.
Expensive Hobbies
Kids who don’t know any better frequently fail to comprehend the cost of the items they are tampering with. As a result, they can often cause more harm than good, which can cost a parent a lot of money. This is common when an expensive item is entertaining to play with.
It’s easy to get angry at a young child for breaking something, but keep in mind that they often don’t know any better and aren’t trying to cause trouble. At least, that’s how it seems most of the time. They can get in a lot of trouble at times.
