I See, I Want, I Get

Apparently I have a few more lessons to teach Kid 2 after the following conversation took place this morning:

K2: Mom, where are we going?
Mom: To the grocery store.
K2: Can I get some princess breafkast?
Mom: You mean princess flakes?
K2: Yeah, I like em, they make my milk pink.
Mom: Well, only if they are on sale, do you know what it means to be on sale?
K2: It means Heavenly Father wants us to buy more.

I think if you asked my husband he would agree that I have the philosophy that if it is on sale, I must be able to get more of the item, and my children have taken on the same thought process. Looks like I have a few things to teach my kids about the value of money and hard work, and just because it is on sale, it doesn't necessarily make it a good deal. But, it still makes it so hard to pass up!!!

That is so funny! I think I have been laboring under the same impression -- that is something is on sale, it means heavenly father wants me to buy lots of it.

Princess Flakes are delicious. Do your kids have names?

I think that she gave a good enough reason.
