The son got the real message.
Hey, KrustyKrabbs, I remember when in the University one girl was acting important just becasue she had more and nicer clothes than all the others. My friend said a thing, I will never forget - Yeah, but this is your father that can afford this, not you! We'll see after we graduate which one of us has a real value.
Unfortunately, for that girl, she didn't even graduate - too busy with dressing up - and she's somewhere in Western Europe selling her body. And the girl she was talking about then, is a pretty succesful woman now.
The message here is - one's value is not the clothes, especially the ones bought by someone else.
