Wow, great story full of potentials and lessons to be learned. I could remember when I was younger like oka, then we had no video games while my friends had. I'll normally sneak out to go and play and if I dared coming back Late, I'll receive the worst lessons of my life. The only difference here is that, then there was no fee attached like the errands and washing a plate. Well from my own understanding, you could see that buying a decent television then for oka wouldn't have changed and motivated him to become who he is today.
