Children Don't Get Weary

1. When children ask their parents "what's for dinner", they DON'T WANNA HEAR "let's see what we got at home". They ask because they know there's a possibility of take-out.
   
2. To a child, a supermarket is like a shopping mall. They go to a Wal-Mart for the first time, they lose their mind. How can ONE store sell a little bit of EVERYTHING?!
   
3. When parents wanna get rid of the kids for the night, they use one word: sleepover. Pacifies everybody involved.
   
4. Although it's amost guaranteed to happen, getting caught in those parent asking circles. "Go ask mom". You go to mom, "go ask your daddy." SOMEBODY TALK TO SOMEONE!! Can't you tell I wanna go somewhere?!
   
5. A child can always be satisfied with a $100, I mean a $20. Back in the days, children thought small, and small amounts of money could be stretched a LONG way out. Today's kids have all kinds of high-priced electronic gadgets to want.
   
6. Children WILL learn the value of a dollar when they are told they will have to fund their own good time. Video games, expensive clothing, all that. You want it, you pay for it.
   

Off to ponder. Be back later.
