Ahh so it is true then.

Of course it's true. I can read the Fun with Dick and Jane book
that is
Hawwke-Ptooey's life without any problem.


If only that were true. You haven't a clue.

You were born to privilege - not in dispute.


That concept is so far from reality it's hilarious. I only wish that
were true. Poverty is more like it.

Nice try. You're living off the dividends of inherited money.


But I'm old now.


So? You still grew up in privilege.



I wish.


You did. Not necessarily Rockefeller privilege, but privilege all the
same. You had luxuries great and small that most people don't have
while growing up.
