Sidenote: How does this happen? Why is Disneyland allowed to advertise to my child at school?Anyway, as we were driving, Adam started telling me all about why he wanted to go to Disneyland again. I agreed that it would be lots of fun but tried explaining to him that a trip to Disneyland would be very expensive.
Adam: Well, how much money, Mom?
Me: I don't know, honey. A lot.
Adam: No, Mom, a number...
Me: Ok. Like, maybe $100. But that's $100 for you, $100 for Alex, $100 for Mommy, $100 for Daddy, and $100 for Dylan. So that's like $500 for the whole family, which is really a lot of money.
----- silence -----
Adam: Oh, Mom, I have an idea. Maybe if Daddy didn't want to go, he could just stay home, and then maybe Dylan could stay with him. So then it would only be $300, right?
Me: I guess that would be true, but even $300 is a lot of money.
----- silence -----
Adam: Mom, how about this... Sometimes, when you buy me food I don't like, maybe that costs $100. So if you don't buy any of the food I don't like, maybe we'll have enough money.
Seems like I'd better start saving my pennies!
