This morning the kids and I were discussing what errands we would be doing today. One errand was Matt's weekly comic book run to the comic book store to see if this week's new comics were out yet. (I consider that research for future career) Josh got very excited and asked if he could buy something for himself. I said he could with his own money. Within seconds Josh was back with the reclaimed dressing jar that he has been using to stash his hard earned (swiped from the laundry machine) cash. I got worried about Josh thinking he could spend every last dollar on the actions figures so I said he could only spend up to $10, thinking that he could get two packs of (still wasteful but less painful when stepped on) trading cards for just under $10.
Josh was crushed. He wanted to blow his whole wad. He didn't want to me try and reason with him so Matt, always the helpful (and entertaining and hilarious) one that he is told Josh he would explain it to him in a song. I kind of focused on the dishes at hand for a moment but came back to reality just in time to hear Matt enthusiastically singing "and when you are old ... and wearing adult diapers ..... action figures won't pay the rent."
