on our way to school, caleb asked "mommy, are monster trucks real?" i told him that they were. "well, can we buy one?" i explained that monster trucks aren't something that you can just go and buy. well, he seemed to accept that. then he said "i think they cost two thousand hundred three dollars. that's a lot of money, huh mommy!" i just said "sure" (one of those mom answers when you don't know what else to say or not sure how to explain). caleb has been learning money in school and decided to put this knowledge to use....."that would be 31 dimes, 3 pennies and 1,000 nickels." it took all i could not to laugh at him. he was convinced that that was a lot of money and was so satisfied that he didn't even need my opinion....love that kid!

hey summer! glad you found me. i don't do myspace that much anymore. i've gotten hooked on here. your boys are too cute! sounds like they keep you laughing. nice senior picture too:). take care!
That sounds like Auburn trying to figure out how much everything she wanted from the American Girl catalog would cost her. Honestly their dolls cost about the same amount as a monster truck! Ouch! I took her to build-a-bear instead. Much more affordable.
how funny! and what a smart kid!
cute caleb.
Tell him to just ask Mama to buy him a Monster Truck.(especially if it's a Lego)
I really think you should buy Caleb a monster truck...can't be that much, huh? lol...KRisty Rodrick
He can come play with Canon's "Grave Digger" and "Bounty Hunter" monster trucks anytime...and we'll only charge him a quarter.
