Lunch Money

It's already the last day into the 3rd week of school, and I have yet to pay Allie back the money I owe her.

Yes, i owe my 6 yr old money.
On the first day of school, i thought i was sooo prepared for it.
The kids clothes were laid out down to the shoes.
I already knew how i was going to style Allie's hair.
Their backpacks were packed with all their "supplies".

But then morning came, the bus was about to come, and I realized I had forgotten to get cash for lunch money.

So i did what any loving mother would do.
I raided Allie's piggy bank when she wasn't looking.



Then i learned you can pay for their school lunches online...superb!!!
Allie's b-day is Monday, so i figured as part of her presents, i will be paying her back, with interest. I figure it's only fair, when everytime she asks me "where's my money...you owe me 6 dollars"
I just seem to never have any when she asks, all the while wondering how it went from $3.50 to $6 on a whim.

Advice for the day: Never borrow money from 6 yr olds...they're tough loan sharks.

I agree! I borrowed money from my daughter and everyday she reminded me I owed HER money. I couldnt wait to get to the bank to pay her back...she was driving me nuts.
