During some lunch-break Christmas shopping today the following was observed:
A mild mormon mom was in the long check out line of a book store trying to keep her two small boys at bay. The older boy, maybe 5 years old, soon spotted the candy display. While the store patrons patiently waited to make their purchases, this tot verbally debated with himself the pros and cons of spending his entire $4 allowance on one large, luscious, chocolate Santa. With sprinkles. Fortunately for the boy the store was understaffed, the line slow moving, and he had plenty of time to think things over. Finally, after a lot of consideration and with determined decisiveness the little one turned to his mom and said
"You know, having chocolate is better than having money. I'm going to get it."
Smart kid. We're going to try to adopt that way of thinking in our home this Christmas Season. We hope you do the same.

I totally agree. Now you know the real reason why we are poor. Don't tell Mike. Although, I think he knows because I always smell of chocolate AND he's sitting right next to me while I'm typing this.
Amen!
He must be related to me somewhere. If you look how much chocolate I have, I am certainly rich. I love kids and their point of view.
