My daughter's trying to BREAK me

SO..

OUR DAUGHTER MEGAN..GOES TO COLLEGE AT FORDHAM IN NYC..

& SHE'S LIVING "OFF"-CAMPUS..
IN AN APARTMENT THIS SEMESTER..

NOW YOU "PROBABLY"-KNOW..

NEW YORK IS AN "EXPENSIVE"-PLACE TO LIVE..

SHE HAS 2-ROOMMATES..

& IT'S A SMALL "3"-BEDROOM..

BUT "HER"-THIRD..

IS "ALMOST" 600-DOLLARS-A-MONTH..

I "SHOULD"-SAY "MY"-THIRD..

IS "ALMOST" 600-DOLLARS-A-MONTH..

SO..

WE WERE GOING TO "VISIT" MEGAN IN APRIL..

& "STAY"....IN THE 600-DOLLAR-A-MONTH APARTMENT..

(WE'VE ALREADY PURCHASED OUR AIRLINE TICKETS)..

WELL YESTERDAY..

MEGAN INFORMED-US..

THAT HER "ROOMMATES"
WOULD FEEL "UNCOMFORTABLE"..

WITH "US"..
STAYING IN THE "SMALL"-APARTMENT..

WELL..

A "CHEAP" HOTEL-ROOM IN NYC IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 250-&-300-DOLLARS...

A "NIGHT"..

WE "CAN'T" AFFORD "THAT"..

SO NOW...

WE'RE "RECONSIDERING" IF WE CAN GO AT-"ALL"..

& I "HAVE" TO SAY..

I'M A "LITTLE"-FRUSTRATED..

THAT WE PLANNED THIS TRIP TO NEW YORK IN APRIL..

"COUNTING"-ON SAVING MONEY BY STAYING AT THE APARTMENT..

THAT "I"-PAY THE MONTHLY RENT ON..

BUT NOOOOOOO...

WE WOULD MAKE HER ROOMMATES "UNCOMFORTABLE"..

& "THEN".........

MEGAN REVEALS
THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO BRING 1 OF HER ROOMMATES "HOME"..
FOR SPRING BREAK..

& SINCE HER ROOMMATE IS FROM OHIO..

& HAS NEVER "BEEN"..TO CALIFORNIA..

SHE'D LIKE TO TAKE-HER..

ON A "TOUR OF CALIFORNIA"..

NOW I CAN ONLY "IMAGINE" WHAT THAT ENTAILS..

A ROUNDTRIP AIRLINE TICKET..

THE USE OF A CAR..

GAS MONEY..

(THEY "PROBABLY" WOULD PREFER TO "STAY" IN 5"-STAR HOTELS..

WHILE THEY "TOUR CALIFORNIA"..

WELL....."4"-STAR..AT "LEAST")..

& THEY'LL HAVE TO BE FED..

& PROBABLY NEED A "SHOPPING BUDGET"..

I TOLD MY WIFE..

"WE"..

SHOULD GO TO NEW YORK..

WHILE MEGAN IS "HOME" FOR SPRING BREAK..

WE "ALREADY" HAVE
OUR AIRLINE TICKETS..

THE APARTMENT WILL BE EMPTY..
FOR SPRING BREAK..

& "WE"..

WON'T BE "HERE"..

TO PUT-UP WITH THE "INSANITY"..

OF A "TOUR OF CALIFORNIA"..

I SWEAR..

THAT GIRL WILL DRIVE US "STRAIGHT" INTO BANKRUPTCY..
