Probably standing in a kitchen, since that’s where most family talk and decisions get made, Generous Family picked up on People’s interest in Generous Family’s boat that was sitting somewhat unused. “Go ahead and take the boat, and take my Grandson out on it. Make memories. Have fun. Honestly—take it.”
After the obligatory humble approach to explaining why he could never accept such a generous gift, People accepted the keys in exchange for a symbolic twenty dollar bill.
One month later, without additional voyage or memory made, People sold the boat and kept the cash.
He needed the money. For something. Probably.
