Ever since summer vacation started, I have been, as every parent is during the first week, at least, very keen on limiting the girls' TV and computer time and finding alternate activities to keep them occupied. Two days ago, as I settled down for some 'My' TV time after dinner, my little one came running to me, the 'Boring' monster close at her heels. I commissioned her to do a drawing and she immediately asked - Will you buy it from me? I agreed.
She was busy at it for almost an hour and as I was getting ready for bed, she came to me with a pencil drawing of three bouquets of flowers and went - Here, buy this from me. It costs three hugs and three kisses! I was pleasantly surprised. This one is very money smart and is always looking for ways to fill up her piggy bank. So, at the price she was quoting, the drawing was a bargain! I paid up immediately. As an after thought, I even paid her an advance of three more hugs and kisses to get the drawing colored for me. It will be delivered in 24 hours, I was promised. That was fine with me.
And then she goes - You owe me three more hugs and kisses.
What for? I ask.
Taxes, of course! - she announces.
I have never been happier to pay my taxes!
And since the colored drawing was not delivered as promised, I got a 'refund' last night.
