Hi, If you can take the time to provide a context for these rather odd remarks, I'll happily take the time to comment on them. OK? For example, why are there two people involved in this?

Let me explain:

The mother wants to buy the child a car. At first her budget was $5000, he managed to upper the budget to $7000. She said okay. When the time come to buy the car, she said : For the amount of money I just paid, you had better keep the car a good 5 years.
