"Indignant"

An old acquaintance and I
were going over the last ten years
since we'd talked
on a web site.

I half-joked
that my wife and I
were making amazing money
and were looking for a girl
to come live with us,
implying sexual servitude
and house chores
would be her only rent.

She got huffy.
"I've GOT my own money,"
apparently taking it as an invitation,
which it wasn't.

Our first conversation in a decade,
and I'm going to offer
to let her live with me?
She must think I'm classy.

First off,
I guarantee my wife and I
make no less
than ten times what you do,
so don't talk to me about "having money."
You're out of your element and in over your head.

Secondly,
why would we be interested in your bitter ass?
We'd much rather buy a teenager.
