Death Sentence? My kid washed the car with my LSU National Champs T-shirt

She's 17. She should know better.

She went into MY dirty clothes basket.

She got MY white LSU 2003 National Champions T-shirt.

She washed the car with it...scrubbed the rims...wiped down the tires...everything.

She left the T-shirt in a pail of dirty water out on the carport.

When I found it, my beloved shirt was gray with grime and had black and brown brake dust and tire rubber streaks on it.

This isn't a matter of determining guilt. This is a matter of determining sentence.

What say ye?

Ever had a well-meaning friend/relative destory a favorite item?

Apparently she would not have used it if she had known better. I would be upset with her, I would not punish her. She is worth more than the t-shirt. I think you have to treat this situation that way. I know it is hard.

I would make her sit down and listen to how much you did like your shirt, and why it means what it does to you.
