If your son did recieve the bathing suits as a gift, then why are you throwing such a fit? It's not as if you, as a "soccer mom, Gril Scout leader, Sunday School Teacher, or softball coach" is out any money.

There's something you're not telling us. People don't get all angry and self-righteous over "principle"

I would suggest donating the !!!@#$% swimsuits to charity, or selling them on ebay if you need the money so bad.
