Deceitful Dad promises to take Sammy Son to the store to purchase a video game over the weekend. Deceitful Dad has promised to do this multiple times, and never follows through. Sammy Son has had enough and writes a contact between Deceitful Dad and Sammy Son. Both parties sign the agreement and it is notarized. Deceitful Dad, despite the contract, fails to follow through once again. Can Sammy Son seek damages under the contract? Why or why not? Would the result be different if Sammy Son paid Deceitful Dad $15.00 to take him to the store?
