https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Fool-soon-parted-with-his-money-meaning-of-mad-money/m-p/32405#M15753 <P>My mom taught me the meaning....</P> <P>For a time dad was a "happy drunk", and I couldn't understand why mom didn't get mad.. one night I was enlightened. He came home happy hour plastered (he forgot their evening plans) she put him to bed and he passed out quickly. She opened his wallet and took all his money. I said mom he is gonna be mad when he wakes up and finds out. She said he won't even ask for he is too afraid that he actually drank all his money and would have to admit it. So if this man is foolish enough to behave like this, then this fool is parting with his money. Mom said I dont get mad, I just go shopping mad with his moeny. For age and health reasons my dad changed his lifestyle and our shopping spree funding did suffer. </P> <P>there are many other words of wisdoms my mom instilled in my head and heart, I am trying to do the same with my daughter. Just wondering if others have mom memories of "words of wisdom". </P> Thu, 17 Feb 2011 18:11:09 GMT vicalynn 2011-02-17T18:11:09Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Fool-soon-parted-with-his-money-meaning-of-mad-money/m-p/32405#M15753 <P>My mom taught me the meaning....</P> <P>For a time dad was a "happy drunk", and I couldn't understand why mom didn't get mad.. one night I was enlightened.
