Rattling the Tin Cup
Well, I just got a call on the phone from my wife, and we are not going to be able to take the children Christmas shopping this year, because we had promised a stranger in need, a friend of my daughter, to send her back to China; and the ticket prices hopped up between the time we borrowed money from a family friend, the time it arrived, and the time required to put it on the credit card.It just vacuumed away the entire Christmas shopping money. No toys this year.
