    Purim cards – the “in lieu of sending Mishloach Manos” ones. Inexpensive to create, and they sell well.

    Give them something equally as exciting to do. Take him out to a ballgame, arcades, etc.

    I agree with abcd2’s assesment – and I live there!…Although, this past winter we laughed at NY – we had something like 6 inches of snow the whole winter (slight exageration). Oh, and the foliage is awesome. Hatzlacha with your decision!

    I would get a friend to partner with, and set specific goals – i.e. clean the kitchen daily, – and check in with each other at the end of the day. It’s amazing what this healthy peer pressure can do!

    I am researching the same thing – for the “privilege” of using any smartphone , you have to pay 9.99 or 29.99 (depending on phone) per phone, for the (unwanted) data package.

    here is an alternate perspective…

    HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

    (1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like

    sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the

    chips and dip coming. — Alan, age 10

    (2) No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to

    marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who

    you’re stuck with. — Kirsten, age 10

    WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

    (1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by

    then. — Camille, age 10

    (2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. — Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

    HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

    (1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the

    same kids. — Derrick, age 8

    WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

    (1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each

    other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. — Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure)

    (2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets

    them interested enough to go for a second date. — Martin, age 10 (wise beyond his years)

    WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

    (1) I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the

    newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. — Craig, age 9

    IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

    (1) It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone

    to clean up after them. — Mike Schaffer, age 4 (bless you child)

    And the #1 Favorite is……..

    HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

    (1) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. — Ricky, age 10

    I am in complete agreement with simchasaba!!! Imagine if it was (chas vesholom) a loved one…I unfortunately had the experience of one of my parents being in a hit by a car. If his/her pictures had been posted online, s/he would’ve been mortified and, rightfully so, extremely upset.
