Last night after the Dr visit I ask Maria what should we have for supper. We were going down the list of things we could have then out of the blue she asked if we could go out to eat. I explained to her that we couldn't go because we had to pay for her hospital bills for her ear tubes so mom or dad didn't have any extra cash until payday.
She pipes up, "Well we could use my money that we have in my rain day fund." (money we put into savings for her from gifts of $ from others for extra little things she would like to buy herself) I said, "Maria I don't want to have to do that. That is your money you should spend on yourself." She insisted that she pay. So I asked where she would want to go.... Pizza Hut! Daddy Eric asked her if we could get bread sticks and I told her how much it would come to....NO!
She was pretty proud of herself treating her mom & dad to supper....

I can remember the first time Dustin did the same thing to me.
I told him we could maybe go to McDonald than. He said " no way grandma" "I am taking you to Perkins".
Well we did go but I made sure I purchased him a new shirt or pants. I tried to do this so he really didn't realize I was really paying him back. Well it worked, and he also felt really good that he took grandma out to supper with his money.
