Ella wanted to go on a school trip with her class that was offered as a special, Saturday event. Parents had to give permission and pay an extra price since it was above and beyond other planned field trips. She asked for some of her “college fund”. Since she doesn't have chores to earn any money (that is just so us), I asked her what she meant by "college fund". She said the money she got as gifts since she was born for holidays, birthdays and special party things. I looked at her, put a hand on her shoulder and said “oh Honey, Dad and I spent that money already.” Naturally, she started freaking out. “On what!?” she rightfully asked. “On our awesome camera! Remembering all the fun we have as a family could be seen as just as valuable as an education! Besides, you can get a loan for school and school related things. And, we really needed the camera before our upcoming Bermuda trip.” She looked at me like she hated me. I tried to lessen the blow and softly said “You can't put a price on memories.” She walked out of the room.
I shrugged and started taking selfies with our camera that one could say, Ella bought us. Whatever! She’ll come around eventually. Our kids want for nothing and this camera was kick ass.
