If only money existed in reality the way it does in kids' minds.
After I spent much of a day stressing about paying for holiday gifts, Babble’s Kids Say the Cutest Things page really put things in
perspective for me. Here’s three-year-old Sebastian on his family’s finances:
"Why do you have to go to work, Daddy?" Dad: "To
make money so we can buy food and toys and stuff." Sebastian: "Wait
right here, Daddy." He runs out of the room and comes back 30 seconds later
with his piggy bank. "I have money. You don't have to go to work."
I’ll bet Sebastian’s dad thought, for at least a moment or two, “Maybe
it’s not that important to go to work
today.” Darn kids, always distracting us from our practical worries.
