$25 giftcard to like Toys R Us or the like wouldn't seem so bad. You'd spend that on a toy.
But cash, well, cash for 4 year olds rubs me the wrong way, anyhow.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

I'm getting the pig!
Of course Beverly checks in as I'm typing. Of course.
Thinking about you, hon, and wishing the distance between us would just disappear so I could give you the longest hug known to man. Or woman.

Yeah, somehow a $25 Toys R Us card equals toys, but $25 cash is more than a kid needs. Why that is different...not sure.
And by this I'm not saying you should have stopped and converted it to a gift card before going to your Aunt's cause then there would be the inevitable discussion of why you chose gift card A over gift card B and a whole new headache....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But cash, well, cash for 4 year olds rubs me the wrong way, anyhow.
Yeah, it felt icky to me too, but it was pretty much my only option at that point. It's really for the mother to buy the kid something nice, anyway. But giving cash is very Indian. Especially if it's an envelope! Also, you don't give multiples of ten; you always tack on an extra dollar for good luck. Because zeroes are evil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of which (you weren't? I was), I bought these this morning. I have an addiction that is hard to contain.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so glad you checked in Beverly. Good nurses are a most wonderful help. You and all your family remain in my thoughts and prayers.
