"i don't understand," the daughter said. "you want me to pay two thousand for the car but you're saying you'll reimburse me for the car parts i purchased that are $1,800. under that logic can't i just give you $200 and take the car?" the daughter refuses to pay for the parking tickets she acquired years ago out of principal, claiming that if the car is gifted to her, the dmv will wipe her debt clean. the daughter claims her settlement money is locked up in a high-interest account, but every time the woman presses her daughter for the amount she saved, the daughter either storms out of the house or hangs up the phone. meanwhile, promotional mail from the local casino keeps arriving at the woman's house with her daughter's name. 230112 what's it to you? who go blather from
