And, have them drop little gems at school like "Jimmy, we never see you and your parents at the country club. Doesn't your dad golf?" These two techniques will help to build a firm foundation of snobbery. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54140#post-156444 Sat, 05 Jan 2013 13:50:01 +0000 Ironduke 156444@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>When I was little I was asked to describe who I'd been playing with I said the boy in the red jumper; the teacher said 'the little coloured boy?' and I didn't know what she was on about; then she felt really bad as she realised the lesson Perks refers to above.</p> <p>Anyway, they got my toys back. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54140#post-156335 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:07:48 +0000 waylandsmithy 156335@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Terrific advice, thanks Not Amused! I was aiming a little lower, hoping to instil a prejudice against children who's clothes look a bit grubby, or whose parents own a caravan. </p> <p>I'm pretty sure they already look down on people who use public transport or shop at Tesco, so at least some progress is being made. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54140#post-156331 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:03:50 +0000 Not Amused 156331@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>wayland, introduce 'friend credits'. These are used up when they play with children whose parents earn less than a certain salary per year. So they can play as much as they like with children who have at least one parent earning 60k. Below that, there is a sliding scale where they use up their friend credits faster the lower the salary of the highest earning parent. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54140#post-156328 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:57:56 +0000 waylandsmithy 156328@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone have any advice on how to raise their children as snobs? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=54140#post-156327 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 18:50:10 +0000 rikkor 156327@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That's how Kim Kardashian started.
