Charge it!

August 08, 2008















Every Father's nightmare, the day she learns about the "magic" card. Just let someone swipe it through a machine and you get stuff. She is already very competent in transacting, but fully unaware of cash management and budgeting. That is why whenever she tries to purchase some extra cookies or ice cream at home. I tell her, "I'm sorry but your card was denied."
















Sure, it's a little disappointing momentarily, but think of the future benefits. Your account will never be written off at a bank causing a global financial crisis. Of course all the other babies taking out crib equity loans to buy more ice cream than they can afford will destroy the financial system anyways, so forget the pot of gold, there isn't even a rainbow. After that I give her a pick me up.

"Yes, fairies do still exist."

You go, girl! Save the economy, charge, charge, charge! If you run out of cards, or daddy keeps denying your credit, I have some to spare. What happens at stays at Grammy's.
