Boy sues mom who refuses to buy him a PC

We used a lot of ploys to try and get our parents to buy us stuff when we were younger (you don?t even want to know what we did to score an original Nintendo Entertainment System), but an 11-year-old in central China has raised the bar for gadget-hungry kids everywhere by suing his mother after she backed out of an agreement to buy him a computer if he got good enough grades. It actually got as far as a courtroom, but the judge hearing the case was able to work things out between them, though there?s no mention of whether or not the kid ever got his computer.
