Dad Fail #9745.

Dad went out for some much needed socializing last night. Amidst his chatting and lite beer drinking, a young gentleman approached him with an outstanding proposition. Used WRANGLER biker boots for 8,000ft. He JUMPED on this amazing dollar store deal! That's $29, for all that wonder. 

Mom wasn't exactly happy about this purchase (due to her new excitement of budgeting for a new sister), but feels everyone is entitled to make a fashion/financial mistake once every ten years.

As punishment, dad had to give the boots to me (which is pretty sweet), and mom is making him cook lunch and dinner from cupboard scraps to make up for the loss in revenue.
