Is ordering your pot-smoking child to wear a bright sign and stand at a busy intersection appropriate punishment?
Sometimes a simple timeout or grounding isn't enough.
Sometimes, a little humility provides the biggest lesson.
At least that was the thinking of one South Carolina mom who caught her 13-year-old son smoking pot. According to the Huffington Post, April Mathison caught her son, Brandon, red-handed.
So what did she do to deter him from ever doing it again? Mom made her son stand at an intersection while wearing a bright yellow, sandwich board sign.
The message? "Smoked Pot, got caught. Don't I look cool? Not."
The sign was yellow, but Brandon's face was red.
