It's wrong to take advantage of your parent's kindness.
Tommy moved away from home to attend college in another state and, though his parents pay for his education, he struggles with finances as a young student.
Tommy wants to get the money together to go on a weekend trip.
Tommy finds a job cleaning out an abandoned house, off campus, that pays enough for him to go away for the weekend.
Tommy calls his parents and claims that he needs some money to pay for an extracurricular, school related activity, instead of telling them it’s for a personal trip.
His parents are proud of him because he found a way to make some money for himself, and he enjoys his weekend more because he worked to get there.
Tommy's parents are duped into sending money under false pretenses and Tommy feels guilty about going on his trip because he lied to get there.
