Hold Those Scholarship Applications

Grace and Abby wanted to go play outside, and we were looking for Grace's winter coat. We searched high. We searched low. We searched every logical place (and a few illogical ones for good measure). Our search was fruitless.

Me: "Grace, if we have to buy you a new coat you'll have to do some jobs to earn some money to pay for part of it."

Grace: "But Mom, if I give you my money I won't have enough money to pay for college!"

Who knew I was raising such a financially aware 3-year-old?

Fortunately Abby said a prayer and found Grace's coat a short while later.(Three cheers for sensible older siblings!)

Looks like Grace can put those college scholarship applications on hold for a few more years.
