Tanya was known for being tight-fisted. Getting a dime out of her was like pulling teeth. And now, she's suddenly generous?

Hank eyed Tanya skeptically, "Tanya, you gotta be wanting something from me and your sister-in-law, right? If you do, just spill it."

Tanya shook her head, "Nope, bro, you're reading too much into it."

When their parents unwrapped their gifts, they were gobsmacked. These items would cost a pretty penny. Why on earth would Tanya splurge like this?

Karan, always sharp, looked up at Tanya, "Tanya, come clean. Did you get into some trouble?"

Tanya smiled, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm nineteen. Can't I buy gifts for my family?"

Gage didn't overthink it, popping open a bottle of fine Scotch, "This is some good stuff! That's my girl!"

Karan shot Gage a look, then continued, "Tanya, these gifts weren't cheap. Even if you can afford them, it's wasteful. Your brother and sister-in-law's gifts are one thing, but I can't keep this dress. Return it tomorrow. Oh, and I signed you up for driving lessons. You start tomorrow. Aim to get your license by summer's end."
