Arrest over opened gift, seriously?

I guess it is moments like these which give us a break from the realities of the world and allow us to see the lighter moments of life.

BBC has a story , of a mother in the US, who got her son arrested because he opened his Christmas gifts early. I guess, he can counter-sue her for “distress”, and she can counter-counter-sue (is there such a word?) for pain and anguish! Ah, America, the land of litigation … ! 😕
