My sister is stealing my baby, took $10,000 and is demanding more.

Should I send it?

Yeah, you know, what happened to being kind-hearted and giving people the benefit of the doubt?

You know, you only stole my child.

You only have already gotten 10K from me.

Why not give more? Just ask and asking ask. Just like, uh, O.P is the giving tree. That's right. You know, we've ever watched like, have you read the giving tree? That was the one. Yeah, it was yeah, I'm pretty sure I did. Yeah, where it's like, hey, can have an apple and the tree gives an apple? And there's like, yo, can I have some branches? And the tree gives the branches.
