True.

Just like the parent in the mall that gives in to their kid to shut him up?

Tmall · 12-09-2009, 10:08 AM

Sure, if the parents really meant it, they wouldn't give in.

Call it what you want, he won...

Legally they were right and well within their rights.

They didn't have to give in to anything but I'm still glad they did.

Tmall · 12-09-2009, 10:24 AM
