In Which Brandon Stumps Us All
My children always have big plans for their meager allowances. Brandon in particular, usually thinks his monthly $10 will buy much more than is actually possible. Tonight he rattled off a list of items he wanted to purchase in the coming week. His younger but wiser brother Connor rolled his eyes.
"Money doesn't grow on trees," he pointed out practically. I smiled, wondering where he had picked up that expression and inwardly prayed that I had never actually uttered that sentence out loud -because it would make me old I think.
Brandon pushed his glasses up onto his nose. "Yes it does Connor," he retorted.
Connor snorted and looked superior. "Does not!" How very six year oldish of him.
"Connor," Brandon began patiently. "What is money made of?"
"Paper," Connor stated matter of factly.
Brandon nodded. "And where does paper come from?"
Connor gasped. "From TREES!"
Brandon nodded. "See?" he said in a whisper. "Mom and Dad have been lying to us about that all this time!" 10:18 PM - Sep. 8, 2007 - post comment
