Not Your Fairy Godmother

Today an inmate, a "frequent flyer," needed copies, envelopes, etc.  He completed the necessary paperwork to have the money deducted from his trust account.  Then he asked me to call and find out if he had money on his books.  As it turned out, he did.  He said that he had sent a request to have the money sent to family or friend, and expressed dismay that it hadn't.  Then, without actually asking me, he hinted at my holding the trust withdrawals until that money had been sent.  I just looked at him.  He said, "Can't you grant my wish?"  I looked at him and said, "I am not your fairy godmother."  He tried again later, and again I said, "I am not your fairy godmother."  Silly inmate!!!
