Poor kids are only trying to live life. But they don’t realize that trying to do so results in major losses for their parents. I am sure the losses must’ve hurt the parents because money doesn’t grow on trees but the way these stories have been told makes them sound so hilarious. And I like that they have been narrated this way.
