Son came home with Gameboy and game, said friend "Tommy" gave it to him-he had another one already. 1 hour later, knock at the door. I overhear another friend says that "Jimmy"-another friend is missing his Gameboy, and since he was the last one with it has he seen it or did he take it. I appear and tell friend to tell "Jimmy" to come ask about his game himself. (With the intention of seeing if its the same game and if it was given or stolen. After closing the door I take the game from son to hold on to until I find the truth. Son has a tantrum that its his game since his friend "Tommy" gave it to him and that although "Jimmy" has a similar one its not his. Begins to cry and claims that when "Jimmy" comes by he'll claim its his though its not and how unfair it is. Is this a cooky coincidence? Outright manipulation with mindgames? Or a simple misunderstanding? Who's darn Gameboy is it and how did my kid get it? (sigh of frustration)
