I coulda been first and then I left you an answer in my mind meaning I forgot that I didn't actually write something and so... *sigh* Oh well! #25 it is then!<BR/><BR/>Very wise lady you are G! I think we could safely allow Tali and Lil' B to shop together. I am big on sales and getting the best deal on everything (my kinda hunting) and so I am teaching her about it and at 5 she is pretty up and up on the price of things now. The other day we were in a shop and there were this beautiful shoes, gorgeous embroidery on them and they were 15 euros. Not bad really. but she had some simple 3 euro summer sandals in her hands and she looked at what I was showing her, sticks out her hand while waving no and loudly and shocked said "But Mom! No! I have many shoes and don't need them they are 15 euros!!! No! I want these because they are pretty and only 3!"<BR/><BR/>What a moment I tell you! I almost cried at the sight of my little good shopper right there in the middle of the store!<BR/><BR/>Yes, wise words indeed Lady G! Hey, give us more!
