The Drunken Boy
One day I found out that my son, Noah Callaway was drinking at this party. So I told him since you like to drink, you can drink it off of the floor. He told me no, so what I did was even worse. I told him to take his money that I gave him, that he had left after he had bought alcohol, and to rip it up in addition to making him tape it back together. Then he came and told me that he couldn't do it. And so what I told him was, that since he couldn't tape the money back together, that means that he could not drink no more. And he had agreed with me. I told him if I catch him another time, I'm going to make him nail nails into his wall. After that incident, I had caught him again. And he already knew the consequence.
So what he did was nail 2 nails into his wall. And so I told him every time you take a drink of liquor, you nail one into the wall. So the next day which was friday. He nailed 7 nails into the wall. I walked into the room and told him to remove the nails and I told him to look. I said that alcohol is bad. I even warned him before. And so I said that those 7 nails into wall, are the 7 times you could have died. He had realized it, and so after that he had never drank in his life again. As far as I know
After the incident, Noah has been doing his chores and just helping around the house. Because of it, I started to give him money so he just go buy clothes or something like that. Until One day his friend had come over, I welcomed him in. As he goes upstairs, I start the dishwasher. Shortly after, I walked upstairs to see if he had dishes in his room. When I opened the door, there is a terrible stench of alcohol all over the room. I even told Noah that I’m going to have to beat his ‘’a**.’’ His friend, also scared, has scutterd out the door so fast that he knew he would have gotten in trouble also .
So what I did was I went outside to get a branch off of the apple tree in the front yard. When I got back in the house, his door was locked. I was not going for that, so what I did was break his door down just so I can whoop him so he can learn his lesson. Then after that, Noah knew that If he were to move to his mother's house he can do whatever. Then come to find out that's what he did, he moved to his mom’s. And he had drank so much that it messed his education up. And he became homeless and I really couldn't help him, because It’s his choice what he does in life. Then I had found out that he has a job. And In this case it was a great for him. And so he became rich, and he did whatever he wanted. He got back on the alcohol but not heavy. And he were still successful in life.

What inspired me to write this, was really just about the things that could happen to others ect. And also it's somewhat a life lesson to know, if your in a situation like this one.
