N was flipping thru an "educational" toy catalog last night. The catalog came home w/Patrick one day, seems it's for a new store that is aiming to get teachers in the door. And this is the conversation that ensued:
"I want to go to Daddy's school," N says
"What would you do at Daddy's school," I ask, thinking he'll say something about reading or hanging out with Daddy.
"So I could get these toys"
"Oh honey, those toys aren't at Daddy's school. You have to buy them"
"Okay, I want to buy them"
"Do you have any money?"
"No. could you buy them for me?"
"No, I don't have any extra money right now"
N ponders for a moment and then the light bulb goes off and he has a brilliant idea:
"I'll go the the Little Fred Meyer and they can give me money!" He declares.
"Why would they give you money?" I ask (trying not to giggle too much)
"well, if they want me to buy the toys the will give me money"
Ta-da. So, that's what I think, too. If the retailers of America want us to spend money this holiday season, they should start giving out cash.
