Today, we went out to buy shoes for difficult child.
Pick out 2 pr. He is SO excited! Puts on a pr right away to wear out of the store.
Check price. $55 apiece! NO WAY!
I compromise and tell difficult child he can do extra chores around the house and yard to earn them.
He pauses, takes off the shoes, puts them back in the box, takes a cheaper pr and says, "I'd rather only have one pr and not do the chores."
Huh?
OMG. I hadn't even considered that it was an option.
Sales clerk comes by, tells us that the prices on the boxes are not the real prices and to have them scanned.
Check out clerk comes up with-$17.95 apiece.
"You are one lucky boy," I tell difficult child.
Who still has to do chores. But maybe not THAT many extra chores... :wink:
