I know times have changed Mpowered and young people expect the very best that life has to offer. Doesn't mean I have to agree.
If I had a kid I wouldn't hand him my Ref 36 ever....maybe after I die.
I don't expect a darn thing. I've worked between 25-40 hours a week since my sophomore year in high school to pay for things I wanted, bills, and gifts for other people.
When my parents offered to buy me a new saxophone to advance my musical endeavors, I graciously accepted. Just because I didn't earn it, doesn't mean I can't appreciate it, and it doesn't mean I "expected" it.

Thanks for setting me straight rabbit. I understand that I was wrong.
There's a kid that lives across the street from me that plays saxophone. I'm going to go across there right now and give him my Ref horn. It's the least I can do.
That's really an immature way of handling his comment. He wasn't saying that you should give a teenager a $6,000 horn. He was just saying that you were out of line in assuming that, just because he is young, he won't appreciate the horn.
That's all I was saying, too.
