Family Ties

My cousin just called and asked if I would loan her 280,000FCFA to help her pay her rent. Those who know me, know that I'm always willing to help out family and friends. I told her to give me some time to get the money and I would call her back. Before I called her back my aunt called, told me that my cousin was lying and said not to give her the money. She goes on to say that the real reason my cousin wanted the money was to get her boyfriend out of jail so she could be under the same roof as him for his birthday. I was sooo angry when I heard that, but I thought about it for a minute ...decided to give her the money because we all need help at times. So, I called my cousin told her to come get the money. A couple of hours later, I get a call from the gendemarie. It was my cousin crying, screaming and asking why I gave her counterfeit money. My response...so you and your boyfriend could be under the same roof for his birthday! 🤣
