Hero mom sends her son a care package full of garbage

So thoughtful.

Connor Cox will never forget to take out the trash again.

Late last month, the Westminster College student received a care package from his mother shortly after beginning his second semester of school. Exciting, right?

But this wasn't just any care package. It was a care package stuffed to the brim with crumpled garbage.

Turns out, Connor had forgotten to take out the trash from his room before he headed back to school for his second semester. So, in a truly brutal own, his mom decided to mail it to him.

Keep the box, Connor! You could use it as a makeshift trash can.
