Well this is... Odd. Maybe Lestat is right that it is a culture thing, but I can't see any justification for 'selling' your children. I can see something in giving him away (if that makes sense) because they want them to have a better life, but selling them implies they expect something in return for their children and obviously don't have their best interests at heart. This dude's an idiot, pure an simple.
Phred I may just be being daft (I've missed s a bit of humor earlier today
) but was what you said to mag meant in seriousness or fecetiously? I couldn't tell, especially the way mag responded because that's just a silly objection to raise.
