Daughter: What can you buy for $5?

Me: I don’t know, do you have $5?

Daughter: No, but I will when I win the Trix Yogurt prize under the lid.

Me: We don’t have Trix Yogurt.

Daughter: We could go buy some with the $5 I’m going to win.

## Before I was able to post this she asked me this.

Daughter: Mom, how many seconds has it been?

Me: Since what?

Daughter: I don’t know.

Me: 30

Daughter: I ate my cookie in 30 seconds, did I win anything?

Me: Like what?

Daughter: $5

  • This reminds me of a story a friend told me yesterday. He has a foot problem for which his doctor recommends he stick his foot in a pan of freezing cold water, add ICE and then let it sit in there for five whole minutes. While doing this, his daughter told him what a baby he was over the pain. He bet her ten dollars she couldn't do it. She did. And she texted her friends the whole time about what a weenie her dad is.

    Your kid is brilliant.

    BK: Nope

    Mooog: At least she was thinking about practical items to buy with her money. If she were a boy I'm sure she would have thought a good buy would be a flat screen tv.

    Anne: Yes she is focused and it does drive me nuts how driven she is when she wraps her brain on an idea however I agree with you it will serve her well in the future, or she will have a horrible gambling problem.
  • She seems very focused. While it may drive you nuts now, it will be a good quality when she is grown.
  • And people wonder why guys don't think women are good with money.

    So I guess she did not get the $5? :)

    Buggys: If I gave her $5 every time she asked me a question she would be rich beyond belief and I would be extremely broke. She'd have her college paid for in one evening.

    Jayne: Sorry it took me so long.

    Stephanie: It's much funnier from your perspective.
  • So funny!
  • God to be that age again...

    Thanks for posting my button!
