The Mansion

After returning from a family outing to get Italian ices, Danny, euphoric from the treat, was telling Tom and me about his future plans.  He said, "One day when I live in a mansion, I will have a special  room just for you two and it will have a hot tub and a private bathroom" (the latter being a top priority in his mind).  "It will even have TWO queen beds for you both!" which caused Tom and I to burst out laughing.   He continued, "But if you actually like sleeping in the same bed, I can make it a king size bed." Tom and I were very touched by his thoughtfulness and told him so.   Feeling extra generous, he added, "And I won't even charge you that much for rent." (4/9/11)

    If I recall he said"Just give me all your retirement money."

    Yes. After we protested having to pay rent, he compromised by saying we could "just" give him all of our retirement money instead.
