Father of the Year Strikes Again

Bonnet called me tonight, for the first time in weeks. She's doing okay. Still working at the sandwich shop; but hours are picking up again. Odd, but sandwich shops don't do so well in the middle of winter in CO. LOL

She's about to move, again. Her current roommate is moving out of town and she will now be sharing an old Victorian house in downtown with three other young people. She says her room is four times the size of the one she currently has and her monthly contribution is $200 less. Although, she did admit that the house is falling down around their ears and it doesn't heat well. Not such a big deal now with summer coming on; but could be an issue next winter. Ya think?

While talking, she told me that she filed her taxes for 2007 and 2008 about six weeks ago and got $1,400 back. Since she doesn't have a banking account she had them deposit it in her fathers account. She kept a close eye on when the refund was due to be deposited and called her dad daily to verify if it was in. One morning she called before work and it was in, they made arrangements for her to meet him after work and go get her money.

A few hours later, while she's at work, her dad keeps texting her and she finally calls him back during her break. His friend, that HE calls her "Uncle Bob", was arrested and her father used her money to bail Bob out of jail. When she got upset her dad was all like, "but I would have done the same thing for you" and Bonnet told him, "But I am your daughter." By the way, Bonnet doesn't know Uncle Bob at all.

In the last month, since Uncle Bob's trip to jail, Bonnet has received $800 of her refund back from her dad. He was suppose to pay her the remainder last weekend and surprisingly she can't find him.

Maybe he borrowed the neighbors car and drove to Mexico to get Uncle Bob out of jail.
