First World Dilemmas


Ethan: "Mommy, I have a problem. So someday I will play football. And my team will end up in the Super Bowl. And when a team WINS the Super Bowl, they give you a lot of money, like a hundred dollars."

Me: "Uh - huh, so what is the problem?"

Ethan: "Well, I don't know what I will spend that money on. I really need to start thinking about it."

I can help him think of some ways. tell him to start with the bags and THEN get the shoes. Easier to match that way.

Sadly for him, by the time he gets old enough for this $100, he'll be able to use it to put half a tank of gas in the car. Perhaps you should whisper the word 'inflation' and let him Google to his heart's content so he'll know what he's in for...

My son is 10 and argues that he doesn't need to do his "math cold facts" because football players don't need math.

Your man maybe facing my man for that super bowl ring!

See you at the 50 yard line!
