Answer :

One year, my mother-in-law gave my oldest daughter $5 on her birthday, and gave her younger sister $20. When my oldest daughter said, “Hey, it’s my birthday. Shouldn’t I have received the $20?”, my mother-in-law yelled at her for being an ungrateful child, and then got mad at me when I tried to explain what was messed up with the situation.
