A bit of a Smirk

I just love adolescence!  My 14 year old, just announced his trip to Europe and his need to come up with $2500.00  by the end of November.  He also gave me an out… "I could always go next year".  Isn’t that sweet!  Very sensitive young man, he is.

As some of you parents know, we of course do anything to make our children’s dreams come true.  At least within reason.  So I looked at him and told him we’d work on this.

Of course, I being an only child and him too, we have a relationship that extends beyond father and son.  Don’t get any ideas here, I just mean we’re quite good buds too.  So
he starts,

"I could also sell blood and semen too."

Just a bit shocked, I look at him, and tell him that with the latter, at his age, he could probably earn his trip within a couple of weeks.  Shortly I remind him that in this country there are no wages for those services they are donations…Unlike where in the states, some 75 miles from here, they actually have companies…

"I wonder how much they pay?" 

So we Googled it, and I came up with anywhere from $35 to $50 a squirt.  He thought my expression was funny.  Up to three times a week.

As he kept on reading over my shoulder, he looked at me and said:
