My Ungrateful Son Begged for Forgiveness After I Cut Him Off

My son posted a status update, visible only to me.

"Being reincarnated is really a technical skill. I envy classmates who were born in Rome. The two in my family are so ordinary it makes you despair."

The attached photo showed me and his dad from behind, standing in the kitchen, wearing old clothes washed so many times they'd faded to nothing.

My phone buzzed again. A private message from him.

"Next weekend my college classmates are getting together. Everyone's bringing their parents. You two shouldn't come. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. Transfer me $5,000.
