The boys only have three days left of school, and, truth be told, they aren’t doing a whole lot in classes.  Today Addi and Hayden asked if they could go to the store with me and I thought… why not?!

So, I picked Hayden up around 10:30 from school, and he and Dean jumped into the van.

“Mommy, how much does a Lamborghini cost?” Hayden asked.

I was stumped. How could I put this into terms he could understand?  When you’re 7, $20 is a lot of money.

“Are they like $3000?  That is a LOT of money!” Hayden continued.

“No, honey.  I’m not sure, but I think they are like 200k.  Maybe like the same price as a small house.”

“Oh.  They have doors that open up, you know?  Not sideways like our cars.”

“I know!  Isn’t that cool?” I asked him.

“Yeah, really cool.  Well, I want to get one when I get older.”

“That would be really cool, Daddy would like that.” I replied.

“Why don’t you buy Daddy one?  Can’t you go to the car store and buy one?” He pondered since he thinks we are made of money.

“Well, they are really expensive.  You have to be rich to get one.  And Mommy and Daddy just don’t have enough money right now.” I explained.

Hayden pondered this for awhile.  ”Well, when I get older, I’m gonna save my money for one.”

“You can do that.” I told him.

“Until I have enough money, I will just walk places.”

Ahh… to be young again!
