Life Lesson for Lindsey:

Lindsey: Mom?
Me: Yes?
Lindsey: How old you do you have to be to get a credit card?
Me: Whaaaat? Why do you ask?
Lindsey: I was just curious.
Me: You have to be old enough to pay the bill every month...all of it....
Lindsey: Oh.

Life Lesson for Mommy:
I'm to blame...I never use cash, well, 'cause I never have cash...love that monthly float on our purchases and the accumulating airline miles. Alas, it's coming back to bite me in the tooty tot...my kids think the money tree is plastic and of the Visa/Mastercard species.

It's always "sumthin" isn't it.
