Guaranteed human.

Stepdad who refused to pay for my childhood wants $60,000. Fine. Here's what I'm going to do. So the average cost, you know the average cost of raising someone, right? What is it? It's like $500,000. Like zero to 18? Is that true? I don't know. Let's say it's 200,000, right? That's probably very low. I would say, I would say since it's not your fault for being

born, it's on the parents to spend that. So really? No, I think indentured servitude. I think you have to

pay back everything your parents invested. I'm 29 female. And when I was about 10, my mom married

my stepfather. I have an older brother, Luke, who was 15. My stepfather had Amy and

Ada, who were 12 and 11. What's with like parents and naming all their kids with like alliteration?

You know, oh, Sophia Sam is my sister. It's too. Oh, that's true. Amy Ada. John Lauren.

See, your parents didn't do that one. They were smart. Yeah, yeah, they didn't go with the alliteration.

Different basic names.

Think about how many people you know that have siblings and have the same first letter.

We didn't come from a privileged background.

My mom was a minimum wage worker and my dad was absent.

Our stepfather had a very good income.

Which maybe is why Mama went for the stepdad.

You know, give me that money, pop me. Hey, I already went for, you know, the first marriage was about

getting some hotties, second marriage. But now it's about that money. We're bringing it back.

The money. Our stepfather it back. The money.

Our stepfather had a very good income.

Their deal was they wouldn't combine finances.

Wait, no, the whole deal of the second marriages is to combine finances.

Why do you get married a second time if you can't combine finances? That is so hilarious and tragic.
