I'll Buy You That

With Daddy full time in school, the kids have learned that they can't have everything they want.

And neither can Mom or Dad.

Today my husband drove the neighbor's  truck home from church and parked it in our driveway.  When we pulled into the driveway, I wistfully looked at the truck and commented to the kids, "That truck looks like it belongs in front of our house.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could buy a truck like that for Daddy?"

Immediately Morgan (9) piped up optimistically, "We can start saving to buy him one!"

"Hmmm . . . . " I answered.

Henry had an even better idea:  "Mom, we can make him a truck like that!"
