    “…so that I will not starve in future like a certain someone we all know and love”

    That certain someone being you, I imagine?

    If either of your sisters intend on becoming lawyers one day, they can argue with the Bank of Dad that the contract does not stipulate the definition of ‘neat and tidy’.

    Haha, take the evil Bank to court! Haha!

      Haha I think he has nightmares about having to depend on them for money in the future. Imagine the hoops they’ll make him jump through before sending him funds!

    Ah…I really love your mom & dad’s humour!

    Seems like your dad intentionally brought up kids to be home maids. Very very conniving, smart and thrifty!
