You know when you were a kid and you did some dumb kid thing, and as punishment your mum dragged you in front of your friends to embarrass you? Just be glad the internet wasn’t around back then, or you’d be begging for a butt-whoopin’ instead of digital ignominy, like this teenage troublemaker.
ReShonda Tate Billingsley caught her 12-year-old daughter posing with a bottle of vodka in an Instagram photo, with the caption “I sure wish I could drink this!” Unfortunate, obviously. So ReShonda, obviously wise to how reputation and value allotment work to tweenage brats, decided to make her daughter post with the above photo and post it to her Facebook page. Her daughter was mortified, of course. “She actually asked for a spanking instead; she begged for a spanking,” Billingsley said.
Is this kind of extreme? Well, maybe. Just seems crazy that parents need to turn their kid into a meme, or you know, shoot the hell out of their laptop these days. [ABC]
