My 14-year-old daughter asked me to pick up an iTunes card on my recent trip to Target, and I happily complied. When I handed it to her, she said she could pay me for it next week.
Pay me?
Yes. Apparently she spent the weekend mucking paddocks and earned some money.
So I told her she didn't need to pay me, that I wanted to get it for her, so I did.
But really, I want to pay for it!
Why?
Because I earned money and I can.
But I'm your parent and I like buying things for you, just because. It makes me happy!
It does?
Yes!
I don't want to be greedy.
You're NOT greedy! Go enjoy shopping on iTunes! Sheesh!
What does a guy have to do to be nice to his kids these days? I thought by 14 kids were supposed to stop talking to their parents. Glad that's not the case! Now if I could just get the neighbor's beagle to shut up, life would be golden!
