Kids and Money
When I was a little girl I thought that all you needed in order to buy something was a check book. I would ask for something and my mom would say we couldn't afford it. I would then tell her to just write a check. As I got older my parents would say that me and money weren't friends because as soon as I got any, I would spend it. On what? Anything. Gum, silly toys, anything. If I had money I looked for anything I could buy with it. Thank goodness my good parents taught me about saving and spending wisely. Anyways....I've been reminded lately about the naivete of children concerning money. Dude asked me the other day if we could go visit some friends in Hawaii. I told him that I would love to, but we don't have the money. His reply........."But I got a dollar from the tooth fairy." I love it. I wish it only cost a dollar to take a family of 5 to Hawaii. Then, later that night Dude said this to Doctor, "If I build a robot that could go to the hospital for you and you wouldn't have to go to the hospital anymore and you wouldn't be exhausted, would you give me $10 for it?" Uh, yes. Deal.

Gosh...I'd even give Dude $10 if he built a robot so Dr. didn't have to go to work anymore...then I 'd ask him to build brent one. :) Dude keeps me laughing!
I used to promise the kids I would wirte them a check for a million dollars for doing little tasks for me...I owe my kids billions of dollars!!
Maybe if I order 2 robots,(one for Mark and one for me) Dude will take a check????
I must say that is so sweet that he would want to do that to make life easier for his dad.
Now, I will take 2 robots. One for me and one for Art. I am willing to pay top dollar.
