"Mommy Didn't Buy Me A Computer...

...so I'm going to take her butt to court."

An 11-year-old boy in central China took his mother to court for breaking a promise to buy him a computer if he did well at school, a news report said last Monday.

The woman told her son she would buy him a computer if he scored average marks of more than 94% for his school work, the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported.

However, she welshed on the deal when he achieved an average of 97%, telling him she could not afford to buy the computer, the newspaper said.

There's a lesson here!

Don't make promises you (or won't) can't keep.

You go kid! More power to ya!
