Well in that case, it’s hardly worth it for such a pittance. Chump change at that point.

I love the way that this slowly resolves itself the longer you look at it, even though it seems totally abstract at first glance.

If this way of thinking became more widespread, all it would achieve would be the addition of child fees, not the removal of pet fees.
