Noircitydame.....you ask a good question. Here's my take on it. Over the years several people had given us 4 kids various gifts. My father wasn't so much concerned with us kids,
he was worried about himself. He was concerned that these gift-givers were trying to curry favor with himself. They were using us kids to get at him and possibly win some favor...
such as some free legal advice or other benefit. He never said this to me but I suspect that's the answer.
He liked being paid for all of his legal advice...friends, neighbors or otherwise. He gave a lot of free legal advice but that was
his choice.
He had this framed quote on his waiting room wall. As a ten year old I had no idea what it meant....one day he explained it to me !
