there's a moral at the end of the story.
teaching my kids " money" , they are 6 and 8yrs, its school hols and today they decided to start their own shop in the lounge room, and then try to sell me their toys LOL.
they put up for sale all their WII skylander characters ( 25) so i said i'd buy the lot for $100 know if i did they could no longer with the WII, "mean daddy" but they wouldn't come down from $125, so i said "ok.... you just lost a customer.."
anyway, i just came home from the supermarket and the latest kmart catalogue, target catalogue and another that had AFL footy gear on the cover, so i told them " i've just started a shop and i have 2 items for sale plus a SPECIAL one to go to auction "
ruby purchased the kmart as it had dolls on the cover for a fixed price of $1, max purchased the other as it had a car on the cover for $1 , NEITHER opened the catalogue before purchase LOL
then we went to auction for the last item, but in the end max had more money so he won and when i told him ruby gets to keep her money he looked at me and said "WHAT "
they then left my office and went outside to play, they just purchased JUNK MAIL ! and i have their pocket money back in my pocket LOL.
i am suspecting "buyers remorse in a few hours "
moral: knowledge is money, its just depends on who's pocket it ends up in !

dealing with adults sometimes is not to different to dealing with children, we have all been HAD.
