Wasted Money

Earlier today as the kids and I were enjoying a snowy/rainy afternoon at our local McDonald's playground, Halen's was troubled with a bit of jealousy as she coveted the toy her friend had received in her happy meal. She started to beg me for one for her and I, like many times before, said "Halen, we don't have money to spend on a toy today." Recognizing the problem immediately she questioned, "But Mom, why can't we just waste your money and get one?"

I had the exact same thoughts when I was looking at a cd I really wanted to buy today.

So I reached for my back pocket.... but it was completely empty.

Looks like "Wasting money" is a common method.

So funny! That Halen is a gal that knows what she wants and isn't buying your lame excuses :)
