Rhonda's 30th birthday was approaching. Rhonda decided that she
wanted to do something special for the occasion. The first thing
that came to mind was a trip to Paris. A country girl, she had
never been there but had always dreamed of spending a week in the
Paris. Unfortunately, Rhonda was a little short for money as she
had recently gone back to university to study performing arts.
Rhonda did, however, have ten thousand dollars saved up in the
bank. She was going to put this money towards new microphones and
amplifiers for when she graduated from university. Rhonda's father,
Ben, asked his daughter what she wanted to do for her 30th
birthday. Rhonda told her father of her dream to visit Paris but
that she really did not have the funds to make this a reality. Ben
said to Rhonda: "You only live once. You should go to Paris while
you are still young enough to fully enjoy it". Ben then promised
Rhonda to reimburse her for the expenses associated with the trip.
Rhonda was delighted and replied: "You've got a deal". Rhonda and
Ben shook hands and Rhonda left to research her itinerary. The next
day, Rhonda informed her father that a one-week trip would cost
around nine thousand dollars ($9,000.00) - inclusive of all travel,
accommodation and tours. Rhonda worked out that the remaining one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00) would be used for food and gifts. Ben
said: "Fantastic. Go and enjoy yourself. You deserve this". Rhonda
replied: "You are the best dad in the entire world. I could not
have afforded this without you". Ben replied: "Enjoy. It's on me".
Upon returning to Victoria, Rhonda went to visit her father to tell
him all about the trip and to show him the great photos she had
taken. After showing her father the photos, she then asked when she
would be able to be reimbursed for the trip. Ben replied: "I was
only joking. You are big enough and ugly enough to pay for your own
overseas trips. No-one made you go. You had the money and it was
your decision. Sorry but that is life and at 30 you should know
this. No money for you". Rhonda screamed "you promised". Rhonda
stormed out of her father's home and they have not spoken
since.
