It's Gonna Be Famous

It's very possible that this is the best post you'll read all day.

It's also very possible that I have delusions about how funny my kids can be, in which case, this may not be the best post you read all day.

I guess time will tell.


It never occurred to me that my son was missing out on the good things in life until today. After I picked Nate up from school, I had a flash of genius (or a pregnancy craving, whatever) -- "Let's go to the Dollar Store and get an after-school treat."

Nate's eyes got wide. A treat! Best day ever. He asked, "Why do they call it the Dollar Store?" I replied, "Everything there is a dollar."

I tell you what, you could have passed a freight train through that gaping mouth of his.

"Everything costs a DOLLAR???

...Even the games? The toys? The candy?"


"Yes."


"I have twenty-two dollars so I could buy twenty-two games there?!"

"Yes."

"I cannot believe this. {seriously, that's what he says all the time, it cracks me up} I am going to buy twenty-two Wii games there."

A-ha. Having never been to the Dollar Store, Nate was imagining a Target filled with $1 price tags. I had to explain that the Dollar Tree would have some things he'd recognize and some things he wouldn't, but they didn't have Wii games. He was not worried.

"Okay, then I'm going to buy twenty-two Bakugans there."

Again, they probably wouldn't have Bakugans. But, I told him, they would have some toys that might be fun {for like twenty seconds before they break} and some candy, and he could choose three things to buy.

As we pulled up to the store, Nate was still in shock as he read the sign.

"Dollar Tree...Everything's a Dollar...

...Mom, this place is gonna be famous."



Yep, buddy, good thing we were the first to discover it.
