Priorities

Dominic just brought me a picture of a dvd he wanted.

"Mom, can I have this movie? How much does it cost?"

"It probably costs about $25. You'll have to save up your money and buy it."

(I'm trying to teach a lesson here.)

"I don't have that much in my bank, do you have that much money?"

"Perhaps."

"Can you buy it for me?"

"No. I think I should use my money for things like groceries so we can eat supper tonight."

"Mom,  I think we should just eat leftovers. There are enough in the refrigerator. I really want this movie."

(The point of saving money was lost when I started laughing, I think.)
