Default I have disowned my son!

My son just bought TWO Seadoos from his girlfriend's father!

Where have I gone wrong?


The younger generation is not smitten with sailing as a rule. It's a rare
youngster that prefers sailboats over something that goes fast and burns
fossil fuels at an alarming rate while polluting the environment. I think
it something in their hormones.

I blame it on higher education. He's gone to school, worked hard, gotten
a degree and consequently a job that pays him too much, so burning fuel
at 30 litres and hour doesn't bother him (that's about 8 US Gal/hr)!

Cheers
