I think I just got scammed- by The Kid!
I'm happily polishing this big dam rock I found thinking of how I'd like to use it to build something special for Kid and my phone rings. It's the ex's number so I answer- Kid is out with her crowd shopping in a mall (borrowed Mom's phone to stay in touch). A few moments of pleasant chit-chat then a sudden "Oh Dad (imagine 10 year old girl inflection here), this outfit is beautiful- goes on to describe a cute purple/blue (current fav colour) pants and jacket, w/white t-shirt and costume jewelery ensemble. Here's where it gets a little confusing- I suddenly find myself reciting my Visa number to a clerk for $50.00 and change, a rushed "you're the best.." from short, blonde, and expensive, and a dial tone....
Was I just played?
