I said, "Let me have that ragged ass tag go pay these bills and get another one and keep on going cuz it's hot out here. You see these kids are suffering." >> Okay. >> And that's the whole story. >> Okay. >> Okay. Did you hear anything from them like yelling or screaming? >> No, they she just wouldn't resist cuz she's stubborn like >> she wouldn't resist.
