I have a problem.

There's this woman I talk to at the Farmer's Market, we've been friendly since forever.
And every time I see her... well... she knows about our various financial situations. She keeps slipping me money.
So today, I talk to her, we're good, and as I turn to go - she hands me some money. After arguing, I finally just take it, because how do you politely tell somebody "don't give me money!"
And as I leave she slips some more money in my bag.
It's like being pickpocketed, but worse. It's putpocketing. It's really damn embarrassing. Youse guys know I don't mind asking for stuff when I need it, but this isn't the same at all!
And I can't just tell her to knock it off, because I do like her, and anyway, she's old, and I apparently feel that one shouldn't just up and yell at old people, not without a really good reason. "Stop giving me money" isn't a really good reason, much though I think it is.
Heeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeee.
