Recently, I sent M2 to the mall for a friend’s birthday party and she was happily saying it was a free lunch. I was in one of my moods and decided to correct her about free things in this world.
“There’s no free lunch. Nothing’s free in this world,” I tried to instill the worldly reality into my child.
“Yes there is,” she countered.
Sometimes innocence can be a blessing.
“Really? Name me one thing” I challenged.
“Well… Oxygen is free.”
“Go on…” I probed.
“Free food samples in the supermarket!” She beamed at me.
I think it will be tough to instill the worldly reality into M2.
