Just like your father
Are we correct in assuming that apples don’t fall far from the tree? Many children grow up to be like their parents (some don’t). According to their mother, this kid grew up to be a thief, just like their father.
That is all done in good fun, of course. Is it possible to just note that asking for $250 is rather demanding? However, the mother’s reply was priceless, making this whole situation worthwhile. The youngster now has an anecdote to tell for years to come.
