It is difficult for me to respond kindly and for that, I apologize. NO ####### WAY! This is a person who is clueless and so whether you decide to take it as an affront, is entirely up to you. I would not accept it her offer or would gloss over her question without answering her question. It could be that she is taking advantage of your gift.
1again, I apologize for my less than positive comment.

20 bucks? What an insult! My mouth dropped open when I read that. Maybe she is thinking of as a yard sale find? I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt as to why she would even consider offering such a pathetic amount.

Hopefully it's just ignorance. About 5 years ago my dad gave my mom $5 to spend in a fabric store. He still thinks prices are what they were back in the 70's.

Dad was notoriously cheap.
When my mom started going through menopause, he would get upset because she'd leave the bed and go sleep on the couch with an open window. He said her hot flashes were all in her head. Then he was diagnosed with cancer and the chemo gave him hot flashes. Lo and behold, a window unit air conditioner appeared in the bedroom. What a jerk. I was mad for her, but she was just thankful for the AC.
