While discussing bowling and an upcoming bowling date (which happened this morning and was fun!) we had the following conversation.
Me, to Lex: “Bowling costs money, but we have a coupon for a free game of bowling.”
Lex: “Then it won’t cost us any money!”
Me: “Well, the coupon is just for one person, so I still have to pay for everyone else.”
Lex: “Ok, then you can use coupon for you.”
Me: “Why?”
Lex: “So it won’t cost your money. I don’t have any money so we won’t have to spend any money.”
Me: “So you think that if you don’t have any money then they won’t charge you any money?”
Lex: “Of course. How can I pay money for bowling if I don’t have any money.”
Hm…. I think this boy needs a lesson in finance. I hope this conversation makes sense in text. It was funny in person :)
This morning we went bowling and invited one of his classmates. It was a lot of fun! The two boys and Eve and I all bowled and I got a spare in the 8th frame to eek out a win over the 6yr old! Then they ran around and happily shared $2 in quarters at the video arcade. Good times!
