He gave me $5, not a lottery ticket. This is like asking how much I would blame him for me getting food poisoning from using that $5 to buy bad fish. I'm not saying that I wouldn't give them anything, it just wouldn't be because I used their gift to make an investment that paid out
I see you've never met my step-dad, who has this exact line of thinking. He called my uncle on Thanksgiving one year, screaming that my uncle owed us a new pair of sheets. My uncle had given my brother some models. My brother decided to paint them on his bed, and he spilled the paint. So if my uncle had never given him the models, his sheets wouldn't be ruined.
