03/04/2006: "Economics 101"


Yesterday when The Girl got in the car from school:

Girl: Mom, what do we have going on this afternoon?

Me: (immediately wary) Not much. Why?

Girl: There's a sale at Hollister.

Me: Sorry. I don't have any money to go shopping.

Girl: But we had money to eat out.

Me: Be glad you had money to eat. We're not going shopping.

Girl: Don't you have your card?

Me: (She's talking about my debit card.) Sweetling, when you use that card, the money comes directly out of your account. If there's no money in the account, it doesn't work.

Girl: Oh.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
-Cindy Chupack, TV writer
