The ATM Daughter Finally Unplugged

Synopsis

I worked out of town, sending my dad, Grover Scott, 1,500 dollars every month right on time. My brother, Jason Scott, lived in town and only came home once a month, always empty-handed. But my dad always said, "Jason's busy with work. It's the thought that counts." I put up with it for ten years. Until that Christmas Eve, when Grover said in front of everyone, "You can always rely on sons. Daughters are bound to leave for another family sooner or later." I just laughed on the spot. After the holiday, I went back to the city and stopped sending money altogether. Just three days later, Jason called me. "Hey Emily, Dad says you forgot to send the money this month," Jason said. After I said what I needed to say, I hung up on Jason.
