Good idea. I'm proud of you for going that route!
When my brother and I got older and wanted expensive things, we would work and pay halfsies and it worked out really well.
Lots of times we were even told thank you for making the effort but we got for ya.

I still think it odd to take you to the show, have you pick something out then say no. Very odd. I'da been crying buckets too if I was totally expecting it.

BUT...now that you know what is up, ya gotta pull yourself up by the bootstrings and go for what you want. Trust me, in the end, you'll feel real good about yourself knowing that half that board is truely from your hard work. Go git em kiddo!
