New addition to my fambly... another beg and another gift

Oh crap! Found out last night that Nephew and Harpo (shortened form of Harpatina) did what I expected they would think they HAD to do. They had two perfectly good vehicles.... but hers was 'not biiiig enough' for loafly and all it's crap.

Poor as church mice (never did understand that saying) they beg HER FATHER to spring for leasing a bigger vehicle for them.

Told hubby... to be on his guard and not let them get one more cent out of us. They are out for blood on this money grabbing.

Okay.. read that...got it. Yep.. that is the right phrase then. Maybe the poor mouse would find the occasional 'tater tot' or some thing. (that's what this moo to be likes to eat and throws a fit when they run out)

You see, I told you so.
This begathlon will last 20+ years.
