My mom threatened to sell me to the gypsies, but I didn't think anyone actually did that...geeze...

definitely fits today's monster theme.

"The commonly held notion that Roma steal or buy children has no basis in fact. Gajikane parents often warn their children that they will be given, or sold, to the "Gypsies" if they do not behave themselves. There have been allegations and accusations through the centuries in Europe, some resulting in circumstantial guilt and punishment by gadjikano courts, all with no basis in fact or reality."

I knew she was full of empty threats! I'm putting this info in her Mother's Day card.
