The Thrifty Side of Rich


Our conversation that took place last night around bath time... began after a conversation about smooth away pads (yes, product advertising works again and she thinks these are the definite answer to body hair issues).  Anyhow.... 


M: Mama, when I'm older I'm gonna be rich and then I'll buy you stuff - k?

Me: ok... 

M: What would you like me to buy you?

Me: ummmm... how about a car (a really nice car).

M: hmmm - They are too expensive, pick something else.

Me: (really having to think about it) ok, how about a vacation? 

M: How much is a vacation? 

Me: like $2,000.00 

M: EYES BIG!  - How much?? 

Me: $2,000.00 (and that's being thrifty kid - ha ha)

M: No, that's too much mama - how about a vacation to California - how much would that be?

Me: I guess around $200.00.

M: Ok - you can have a vacation to California and I'll drive you there in my car. 


Well, I guess our lessons in being thrifty are working!!  Here's me signing off from the passenger side of my daughter's nice car - ha ha ha!
