Welcome to the real world

Nubbin asked a very funny question while we were in the car the other day.

Nubbin: 'How do you buy a new car in a video game and a new car on the road?'

Mommy: 'Well, in a video game you have win several races and then get points to buy a car, but in the real world, you have to save enough money and then you can buy a new car.'

(I was trying to impart some of my own parents' wisdom. Dad always said 'never buy a car unless you can pay for it outright')

Nubbin: 'How about if I win a race in a video game and get points. Is that like real money? because then I could buy a real car.'

Mommy: 'Not even close baby'

Nubbin: 'well, when I'm all big, I'm going to save my money in my piggy bank and buy a race car for me and a monster truck for Ethan.'

Mommy: 'that's why I love you...'
