I used to do that to my son when I grounded him. I would pull the power cords from all of his electronic toys and take them away for a couple weeks. By the end of his grounding he was a nut case.

I remember getting grounded and wasn't able to go out and play with friends. The age of technology with all the advancements still manages to push us backwards in some areas. Mule 1 Awards

( when he decided to pay the electricity bill I took the money and put it in a savings account that I returned to him when he graduated from high school) Mule 1 Awards
