My Daughter Has Expensive Taste

As mentioned in the previous post, we ate lunch at Fuddruckers yesterday. As we were leaving I was waiting for our friends to follow us and I pulled up next to a brand new BMW convertible. Savanah looks over at the car and says "OH DADDY, I really like that car, can we get one?" Never one to pass up an opportunity to instill some values or life lessons, I replied with, "Well honey, those are very expensive cars. If you really want one, you'll have to do well in school and go to college and then find a good job and then maybe you can get one." Now I know most of what I just said is lost on her and she doesn't really understand what I'm talking about, other than the part about doing well in school (which I'm not at the moment really worried about since she is so excited about starting next week), but it makes me feel a bit better having started to encourage some sort of drive to succeed with her. After thinking about it for a bit she looks at me and says "That's okay Daddy, I still like it anyway." So much for encouraging her to succeed with the promise of an expensive car as the prize!
