Spending Money Wisely (10-25-10)


Last night I was sitting with Madison in the living room. She had just received a birthday card from her cousins that contained a 5 dollar bill earlier in the day. She sat on the floor, holding her bill open, looked up at me and said "Mommy, this is my favorite dollar ever". I told her that it was all hers & she could spend it on whatever she would like. So then I asked her what she would like to purchase with it. She said "I'm going to buy some bread & milk." After a chuckle I explained that she could get what she wanted and re-asked the question. She pondered this for a moment & said "hmmm...I'm going to buy some milk & cheese!"
