Or sell them to wandering gypsies.
The parents probably ARE wondering gypsies!
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****...
