Yes, Noah and I were in Wal-Mart today shopping for stuff for the 30 Hour Famine (if you miss it, you're going to miss all the fun games...).
I'm in a section trying to find a set of five different colored stickers, which of course is impossible because the fact that I'm looking for five means they only come in packs of four colors. So as I search for a five packer, the woman and her little 3-4 year old by me are having a conversation over money, that went as follows:
Mom: Sorry honey, but you don't have any money left this month.
Daughter: When do I get more money?
Mom: March first. [I now start wondering how a 3 year old has a monthly allowance]
Daughter: But when is that?
Mom: In two more days.
Daughter: I can buy it in two days? Yay. [Apparently we're teaching the daughter fiscal responsibility]
Mom: Well, I don't know, you still may not have enough. It's sixteen dollars. [So apparently she does get an allowance, but not a very big one. I also start wondering if this is the only way other than Birthday and Christmas this child gets toys]
Daughter: Mommy, Baby [the toy baby she's holding] says she'll help buy it too.
At this point I was trying really hard not to laugh, so I had to take off, with two packs of stickers...
