If only it were this easy…

Posted By on October 16, 2012

This morning while I was getting ready for work, Sam asked me why I had to “go to the office” (which is what she calls it). I explained to her that I need to make money so we can buy things.  Later, on the way to my mom’s house to drop her off, I mentioned how she and Grandmom were going shopping today.  She asked if I could go and I reminded her that I needed to go to the office.  She again asked me why.  This was the conversation:

Sam: Why you have to go to the office?

Me: I told you, Sam, we talked about it this morning.  Mommy has to go to the office to her job. I do my job and work and they give me money.  We need money to buy things like food, and books, and toys.

Sam: I give you money!

Me:  Awww, that is so nice, Sam!  You would give me money so I don’t have to go to work?

Sam: Yeah!

Me:  Where are you going to get money?

Sam (very matter of factly): From my cash register!

Oh, Sam, if it were only that simple.  But it was so very sweet. 🙂
