Hidden Treasures
Earlier today, I was helping Khushi get ready for school when we began talking about Disneyland. Now, typically, when we talk of any thing that costs a lot of money, I try to bring in the message that, if we really want something and it costs a lot, we can buy it if we “save” for it. I should also mention that just a week ago, we’d bought some furniture for the house and had told Khushi that mama and papa were saving for a few more pieces of furniture we wanted to bring into the house. Here’s what happened…
Papa: You know, a lot of parents and children visit Cinderella’s castle in Disneyland?!
Khushi: Really?! I want to go too…
Papa: Sure. We’ll take both of you there once we’ve saved up enough money to buy us the tickets.
Khushi: I hope you start saving soon for it, Papa…
Papa: Sure. We’ve already started saving for it. Don’t worry about it.
Khushi: Now, please stop saving for all the tables and cupboards so that we can save for Disneyland!
Papa: Don’t worry, Khushi. We’ll save for both Disneyland and the furniture we want to buy…
Khushi: (After a slight pause) I think we’ll need to find a cave soon.
Papa: A “cave”?! What for?
Khushi: In case we can’t save enough… Caves have hidden treasures inside them!!!
Now, you know.
