Phases...
My nine-going-on-nineteen year-old had the distinct pleasure of overhearing a somewhat heated discussion between Husband and me regarding (my) spending habits last week. It was a (blush)needed talk, and (a day or too later) I agreed with the points that were made. :)
Back to the Girl... We were running errands on Saturday, walking through a store that she likes. She spotted some must-have shirts that "all her friends are wearing." I reminded her of the discussion, saying that we wouldn't be buying any clothes that day unless she was funding the purchase.
Her comeback: "So- is this just a phase that Daddy's going through? Or will he always be this way?"
I thought it best not to laugh outwardly about the subject... or her question... or my answer. Some chuckles are better left 'unchuckled'!
