I saw that one yesterday LadyScozz,
I don't know if the ages are correct but, I was shocked.
The family obviously thought it was funny or they wouldn't have put it online.

‘A third of the population of Detroit face having their water supplies disconnected because they are unable to pay their bills, a situation that the United Nations has called “an affront to human rights”.

As the bankrupt city struggles to maintain basic services, a moratorium that had suspended water disconnections has been ended, prompting warnings that residents face third-world conditions as they are cut off for non-payment‘.

(The Times.)

I suspect that the charity fundraising ‘ice bucket challenge’ may not be as popular there as it appears to be in the UK.

PS

I must just add he is a lawyer so none stop talking comes natural to him :-D :-D :-D

Showed it to my OH Scozz and he could not
believe it, said exactly what I said about wanting
to know where they heard it if it was our girls.
