[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I would deduct it. $250 is A LOT for a graduation gift anyway. I'd try and get to the bottom of why he was in my office, going through my purse, and touching my phone. He was lying when he said he was looking for shoes. I'd go through my purse and office to see what else is broken or missing. He was probably looking for money.[/quote]

OP here. I have no doubt that he was being honest about this. I had shoes in my purse and I guess he pulled them out thinking they were hers. He's just clumsy as hell. I swear, every time he's over he breaks or drops something. I still have a hole in my drywall from him goofing around.

I'm just REALLY pissed. My phone just got repaired about a month ago from when I dropped it. Now, here we go again. And it's totally non-functional. Pretty sure the LCD is done because the screen won't even come on. [/quote]

He's old enough to offer to get it fixed but your anger is unreasonable.  He was asked to look for his mother's shoes.  He sees shoes in your purse - he may not even have known it was your purse and even if he did, I'm sure he thought it odd to have shoes in a purse.  If you're going to store your phone where you store your shoes, it's likely that your phone will fall out when you pull your shoes out.  It sounds like you're carrying around a lot of baggage about him.  Poor kid.[/quote]

YOU just dropped and broke it a month ago.  Are you "clumsy as hell" too?  [/quote]
