Well, if it's from my folks, I won't accept it. There are things I want more from them, some of them belong to me and are tangible. Most are intangible.
Stuff like this from them feels like a pay-off. I don't mind stuff they get for the boys...that's how Steve got me to keep the furniture. For the boys' sake...so they wouldn't have to sit on the floor.
IMHO, that's just silly.
There's an old story, don't know if it's true or not, and I can't recall which preacher/evangelist they attribute it to, but it goes like this.
Someone brought in a HUGH amount of money for the offering. Everyone knew it was gambling and likker money. So they said,
"Brother Stormhands, don't you know that's the devil's money?"
"Well, the devil's had it long enough."
