Why Should I Buy A House For My Girlfriend’s Father
My girlfriend found out that my water bottle cost $30,000. She then demanded I buy her father an $8 million luxury apartment in the city center.
I politely refused. She said furiously, “Don’t be so stingy! He’ll be your father-in-law someday. What’s wrong with getting a head start on being a good son-in-law?”
She even compiled all of our expenses during our relationship into a PowerPoint presentation and demanded we split everything.
“If splitting everything equally is too much trouble for you, then just cover it all. You can afford it!
“My family and I have already discussed it. I’ll give you a one-dollar gift. It means you're my only one. How perfect is that?”
When she noticed I was silent, she played her final card. “If you can’t agree, then let’s forget about getting married.
“You’ll never see me, your darling baby, ever again!”
I looked at the detailed list of expenses on the screen. It even included $2 she had spent on a bus ride to see me.
I smiled and said, “Sure. I’ll give you a $143-million gift, with more romantic meaning. And I’ll buy that apartment for your father right now.”
