HOUSTON Dec 25, 2004 — The kids were naughty, Dad put the presents on eBay instead of under the tree and Mom's been crying ever since. Now, even the tree's down.
Saturday morning was sure not to be very jolly for three brothers 9, 11 and 15 who didn't straighten up when their father told them Santa wasn't too please with their fighting, cuss words and obscene gestures.
Dad and Mom had warned their sons that the Nintendo DS video system and the three games that go with it were headed for the auction block if they didn't get their act together.
"No kidding. Three undeserving boys have crossed the line. Tonight we sat down and showed them what they WILL NOT get for Christmas this year. I'll be taking the tree down tomorrow," the man announced in his eBay posting.
"If you don't buy them, we'll return them to the store," the seller known online as magumbo 2000 reported on the site.
Thursday night, the auction wound down with bidding at $465.01 below the price the man had set. He said he would probably list the items again.
A single day of particularly bad behavior set the Christmas crackdown in motion.
What I do is kick them in the pants with a diamond buckled shoe!

Oh NO! Rod...what a thing for them to do! I saw that news article about the parents camping out on the lawn and going on strike. I am not sure that would do anygood in the long run. I think that when kids do things that are life threatening...like that or running into traffic a spanking is the only thing that really gets the meaning across that it is wrong. Strong deterrents can save a life...the house could have caught on fire, if they had chosen a flammable thing to test the iron on. In addition to those presents, I would have wrapped up some chacoal and put under the tree with a note from Santa why the charcoal was there.
