Ok. I'm 55 and my brother is 66. A couple of years ago---as a joke-----he sent me a birthday card with $2 in it. The note said "happy birthday! Go buy yourself something real nice." Made me laugh.

@nana59 That must be a nice memory and thanks for the cute little story about you and your dad.

So...maybe Jane was just remembering a nice memory about her father.  And she gave you something to post about that triggered a nice memory for you and some others, too.

I can think of worse things.

You heard a snippet of the story and it was out of context.  Perhaps it was a sweet story about family.

Well now I want to know how much money her Dad gave her for her Birthday? LOL

I seldom received birthday gifts from my parents. In the past five years they did give me two gifts of money and it was a generous amount, and much appreciated. When I was young they might give me a belt or some other small thing, but I have no recollection of major gift giving. I just accepted it. They are well situated so they could have, but they didn't.
