[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 347612, member: 6546"] KTMom-- I like those sayings! I will have to remember them! Turns out, unfortunately, that there's more to the story that isn't so funny: At dinner, difficult child was still very upset....and she wants me and her Dad to fix it. The real problem? Somebody stole her money. BUT--difficult child doesn't actually have any money....at least, she's not getting any from us. So she shared a long, convuluted story about how she was "holding" money for someone else--had a really long reason for that, too--and is angry that somebody stole this money that she was supposedly holding. THEN--she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a wad of crumpled dollar bills. Explains that there was more--and wants to know now how is she supposed to get it back! WTH???? It feels a bit like the druggie calling the cops to complain that somebody stole his stash. I just don't know what to tell this kid....and I'm not sure I want to know where she is getting all this money and candy and trinkets. [I]--sigh--[/I] [/QUOTE]
