New short story plonked on entirely unknown blog

Tall Tales, Short Stories and Unexploded Truths

Which is like, entirely worth checking out if you're bored and don't feel like paying for short stories.

So I got drunk one night and adopted an African kid, largely forgot about it till I saw the bill, and then was slightly irritated to discover that they weren't going to post my kid to me, that it just gets to live in Africa while I pay for it's school and medicine.
Pfft!
I try to explain my situation to them, and logically rebutted their claim that you can't post children, obviously you can't post western children, but these Sudanese ones should class as a small package and could probably be sent using one First Class stamp.
After which I didn't hear from their customer service people again.

Anywho, part of the whole deal is you're also supposed to send them gifts and letters... which, I fully admit, I've never done, because the kid can't read English and it seemed pointless, and the kids send you cute little letters and school reports back to make you feel smug and good about yourself...

I can sort of half imagine these kids being held on a factory line by Sudanese militiamen, being forced to mass produce cute letters to keep the western funds and gifts coming... but I digress.

As I said, I've never sent any gifts... I'm kind of already putting this kid through school, largely by accident.
I kind of think she should send ME gifts, but does she ever?

Well no, she does not.

And then today I get this letter, which is meant to be a thank you-letter for all the Christmas presents the sponsors sent out, and as I said they don't speak much English, so it's a form-letter where the kids can fill in the blank parts.
It says "I'm having a great time in Sudan, thanks to all the food medicine and schooling etc etc etc,
"And thank you for my Christmas Present of ________

And where all the other kids have clearly written things like "bicycle" or "second hand clothing" she put...

"love"

Which, obviously one of the nuns forced her to write after she didn't get any christmas presents, so as not to offend me.

SO

Would I be justified in demanding my money back?

I mean, I paid into this scheme to feel undeservedly GOOD about myself, this sort of guilt-trip from a starving African kid is NOT what I paid for.
