What’s this for? Varmint catchin’ machine

With our children now all out of the house, my main mode of parenting has basically been relegated to being a breathing, clothed ATM.

My mode of parenting before was basically the same – minus the ATM, and clothed, part.

But, groveling for money from your parents ain’t what it used to be. A lot has changed since my father would grimace as he reached into his back pocket for his wallet that was the size and weight of an anvil.
