My mom threatened to sell us to “the gypsies” when we were being brats-we lived on a ranch in a remote area of W Texas with the nearest town about 25 miles away-but we never thought to ask who the gypsies were and why we never had seen them anywhere...
Someone needs to summarily fire the staff member who had the brilliant idea to send this letter-without severance pay, too-what an ass****...
Exactly. My mom would tell my brothers when they were acting out that she was going to take them back to the agency.
Gypsies did camp on my grandparents’ farm back in the 20s. My dad tried to run away with them. They brought him back.
Regarding lunch money, don’t feed them. One or two meals and the bill would be paid. This is recent. Our granddaughter is 18 and I remember getting called to come bring lunch money to her grade school.
