Shirley O., a mother from Greenfield, WI, has devised a plan to prevent her teenagers and their friends from lingering too long on the family couch. She has installed parking meters adjacent to the couch.
"I got tired of fluffing the couch cushions all the time to get rid of their butt-dents. They needed to get out and do something… not just watch their lives away."
"I issue tickets when they don't pay the meter, basically I deduct the 'fine' from my children's allowance. Their friend's have learned to come over with a roll of quarters."
When asked how much the meters take in during an average week, Mrs. O. replied, "Between fines and meter charges, we pretty much have their college covered."
