Now I know why I pay $3,000 to rent a PC from Bialik High School

Mikey: OMG!!! WHERE'S MY COMPUTER???????? IT WAS IN MY BAG A MINUTE AGO!!!
Me: It must've fallen out at the dentist

20 minutes later...
Mikey: Good news and bad news. Good news is I found it in the parking lot, the bad news is it was run over and it's completely smashed
Zack: Don't worry it's under warranty
I explain to my children what warranty covers
Zack: You're wrong. I could take a shoe and smash the screen and Bialik would have to fix it
My head nearly explodes trying to explain to my delirious children what VOIDED warranty means

The next day Mikey took the computer to school and sent me this text from the computer office...


Now the math makes sense. $500 PC + teenager insurance = $3,000. 

Just as an aside, the dentist gave my kids 100% in their oral exams which I will be using to up their averages when their report cards come out (translated into Quebec Ministry speak thats 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 on central incisor one, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4.5, 5, 5, 5 on the second molar on the left.....).
