    Ann’s eventual fall from grace – should it actually occur – will be satisfying.

    Sex or daughter, which will it be in the end? Now that Ann is around she is calling the tune. I won’t predict how the call to daddy will work out, but following this track its a negatory for Tiffany I think. I hope that my inability to predict what will happen in this strip means that something good will happen for her. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

    The best cons always have an element of truth in them, to disguise the taste of the lies. It’s true that Tiffany does need to know that money has a limit and that she can’t spend on whatever she wants. But if Ann actually meant good for Tiffany, she wouldn’t be describing therapy and education as frivolous expenses.

    It’s one thing if Ann is manipulating a situation, but if Pops can’t communicate directly with his own daughter on money issues or anything else important, there’s a big honkin’ problem even more serious than the money itself.

    As much as it pains me, if this IS coming from her father, I would have to support this decision. What kind of life will she eventually lead if she continues to spend recklessly on credit cards with out a thought as to the bill? It isn’t as if they are refusing to pay her tuition or her housing expenses. That is more than a lot of high school graduates can say.

    My biggest problem with this is that her father is not the one to sit her down and explain fiscal responsibility to her. It comes across as a spineless way to do things. “Oh God look at this months bill!!! I really ought to talk with her…but I don’t want to deal with the tears or the drama…maybe I will talk to her next month. Oh honey I will talk to her girl to girl. Don’t worry your sweet head about it. It will be a bonding moment”

    Legally, Ann (unless she and dad married secretly) has no right to destroy Tiff’s property – the credit card OR the salad.

    A call to the police might be in order.

    Ann is seriously out of line. She is not the parent. If Dad/Tom needs Tiff to manage her spending, the word shouldn’t be coming through her step-monster. This DOES give Tiff an opportunity to schedule time with Tom/Dad for an honest conversation and the really-reallys about his financial/marital/parental situation.

    While I am happy that Tiffany is finally trying to get information from the funding source (Tom “Cat” Ferrell), I am fearful it will not make a damn bit of difference. I doubt he is really interested in being involved with any of these decisions. I suspect he had been just throwing money at Tiffany to keep her out of his hair for most of Tiffany’s life…. and I suspect he is now more than willing to leave even that task now to Ann….. it in effect gives him even fewer things to have to “do” here.

    So, I believe this phone call will end badly… I think that even if she gets to speak with her paternally derived chromosome provider (the term “father” feels too good for Tom “Cat” IMO), that he will probably just cut the conversation short and tell her that Ann is handling things for him and he is too “busy”.

    Tiffany needs more insight into Ann’s shenanigans’. If she would talk to Mr. Gray and find out how the grift worked she could alert the authority and have her arrested. I still think she should contact Soufflés and tell them about Ann’s scam. I like Tiffany and it would be nice if her mystery mother would appear or her friends would have a way to help her get the upper hand over Ann and open her father’s eyes. Ann might have been a small scale swindle but, she is moving into a more serious area taking over Tom’s financial accounts. Is Tom that old or just stupid that he would allow someone access to his accounts. I know the phone call won’t go well for Tiffany with a father as blind as Tom.

    There’s still some hope here, although it’s fading because Tiffany is doing EVERYTHING Wrong. The first of which is calling her dad right front of Ann. Didn’t work the last time, ain’t gonna work now.

    That’s provided She IS calling her dad. Hopefully she not calling Les, unless to tell him to head over to Tom’s with PROOF that He IS Ann’s son. The “Son” Ann hasn’t told him about, yet. And still, Tiff shouldn’t do THAT in front of Ann, either.

    WILDCARD – What if a handful of ladies sitting over at the next table, recognized Ann as that B*TCH that ripped them off last year with what they now know is FAKE Soufflé lingerie and decide to go all MEDIEVAL on Ann’s butt right in the restaurant while Tiffany looks on in satisfaction? Or better still, THEY call the cops now, to press charges as SEISMIC and many other have been saying?

    It’s a longshot, I know. But While Ann’s is being detained, Tiff has a small opportunity to talk to her dad……,

    Ann is tactless and usually heartless, but she may very well be right about Tiffany’s spendthrift ways. If there are real issues, there are much better ways to handle them. Her Dad should have been the one to talk with her about any necessary spending limits and budget constraints, and it didn’t need to be a drama-fest.

    On the other hand, Tiffany’s reaction is that of a spoiled child. She shouldn’t be so shocked at the entire concept of spending limits, though it’s perfectly reasonable to chafe at Ann’s approach to setting them. She should call her father without Ann present and discuss the finances calmly. Then make adjustments to her present lifestyle if her father requests it.

    Ann is staking our her turf and showing Tiff how much control she has over both her and her dad. By picking at her shrimp salad she’s saying I am the Alpha female and YOU, little insignificant girl, will do as I say!!! It’s a power play. As for Tiff, she is indeed calling her Daddy to protest. But I’m betting she will be disappointed. Tom Ferrell is going to take Ann’s side just as he always does. In his mind his two women should just learn to get along and stop bothering him! He thinks (because she has convinced him of this) that Ann is trying so why can’t Tiffany for heavens’ sake!!!! He doesn’t get what’s really happening at all. Tiff is going to have to fight and fight hard or she will be squeezed out of both her father’s life as well as his bank account. If it were me I’d pretend to knuckle under and befriend Ann, but use every trick I could to get irrefutable evidence of the witchy skank she is to present to Daddy in a way he would be unable to deny.

    Ann is trying to cut Tiffany off so Ann will have more $$ for herself. Tiffany’s father doesn’t want to be bothered. As someone else posted, Tiffany needs to “play nice” with Ann, make Ann think she has won so she’ll relax and slip up with some evidence (video, written, audio, etc.) that Tiffany can take to her father to prove the person that Ann really is. Ann is one of those people who only care about themselves.

    A phone call for daddy? In front of Ann? Hard to believe Tiffany is foolish enough to do that in light of the fact daddy has already shot her down on the phone and in person. Maybe Tiff has just recorded Ann’s boasting and will let daddy hear it for himself, without saying a word. Got to admit, though, Ann looks quite trim and frisky while Tiff looks a little frumpy. Yep, if Tom has the money. Ann has the honey.

    Well, in previous story arcs Ann has been consistently scheming, dishonest, and manipulative. But a sociopath can sham empathy and charm, I suppose, even though the temptation to “take advantage” of the person whose confidence you have cultivated must always be pretty strong. And maybe she’s taking the long view: swindles and cons tend to run their course pretty quickly, maybe she’s figuring that with convincing charm and “supportiveness” she can write her own ticket with Tiffany’s father. A live golden-egg-bearing goose is worth more than a dead one.

    Why should Ann have any say in whether Tom pays his daughter’s credit card bill? He doesn’t seem to have ever pressured her to get a job, and he knows she’s in college. Even if they got married already, unless her name is on the bank account, it’s not her call.
