The other day Jason and I received a check in the mail for Christmas from his aunt and grandpa in California. It's kinda nice that they think to do things like this for us even when they don't have to. We ended up cashing the check and venturing out to find something on the day before Christmas. Thankfully it wasn't too crazy out there, but it was only 10:00 in the morning.
I ended up taking the girls with me to "Toys R Us" because I thought it would be fun for the girls to pick out their own presents. Not to mention I had no clue what to get for them. They have plenty of toys they don't play with as it is.
Here is my conversation with Meghan on our way to the store:
Me: Hey Meghan, do you want to go to a special store for Meghan and Audrey?
Meghan: For Meghan and Audrey??? Yeah! What kind of store?
Me: It's a surprise!
Meghan: Oh, I like surprises.
Me: Me too.
Meghan: What are we going to get at the special store?
Me: We are going to get a special surprise for Meghan and Audrey!
Meghan: For Meghan and Audrey??? All right! Is it food?
Me: Nope. It's better than food!
Meghan: Is it toothbrushes???
Me: No, Meghan. It's better than toothbrushes.
Meghan: Better than toothbrushes?
I'm glad to hear that Meghan sees her dental hygiene as something so wonderful and better than food. I couldn't help myself. I busted up laughing pretty hard at that one.
Then on the way home from the toy store, Meghan just said the funniest thing out of the blue:
Meghan: It's my money, and I need it now!
Me: Meghan, where did you hear that?
Meghan: From the TV.
For those of you who are not familiar with that phrase, there is this commercial that is on TV particularly early in the mornings when I am watching the news as I am getting ready for work. It's a commercial about this law firm that deals with helping its clients with structured settlements to try to get them into lump sum payments. Check out the commercial here. It's the last commercial at the bottom of the page.
