The difference is that presumably you are old enough now to pay
for your own artistic voices, and do not have to stick a gun in
the back of poor Great-Aunt Mildred, who has not read anything
but TV Guide since 1974 and cannot tell artistic voices from
the mating calls of plumbing.

Do not automatically assume that you are superior to old bag
Mildred and thus have a right to take her money; even were the
former true the latter is not, I think, the sort of precedent
you want to be setting.
