Picture this:
Teenage girl.
Away for the weekend and then day of shopping in the City.
$100.
Expectation? Said girl ringing Mummy saying I ran out of money or borrowing money off friends.
Reality. Too handed me $90 change.
WTF!?!?!
After I picked myself off the floor I handed her $20 and she THANKED ME and gave me a kiss and said I love you.
Pocketed the rest. I haven’t been to my favourite little shoe boutique in days……

Right woman, write down your kid raising secrets NOW!!! I have a 6 year old that needs this sort of training ASAP. Maybe I should send her down to you for a while, you can train her the same way you have trained Too.
mwuhahaha (meh supposed to look like an evil laugh, not really sure it fits that criteria lol)

I must delurk long enough to say . . .
Nothing. I’m speechless. A child that returns the change. Huh.
Returning to lurking . . .

She is back to her surly self now. I have no explanation for her frugalness…
Moo went over to a friends last night. Gave her $10 ‘for emergencies’ money. Came home minus $10 and sporting a new necklace. Apparently she had an accessory emergency.
