<p>“He had a good 'ole time on their dime.”</p>
<p>I have a nephew who kept flunking out because he slept through his finals. When his parents called him on it, he said, “It’s not like it costs anything to take the course again.” (He was referring to the savings in his college fund.)</p>
<p>Now he is paying his own way, part-time. His parents will pay out of his college fund for future courses ONLY if he maintains a 2.7 after a full year.</p>
