Maybe it'll help with my 'budgeting' skills.:) Seriously... this happens to me too! Buti nalang, my kids are too young to catch my boo-boos. Makes me want to buy the book for my sons.

Here's a secret of mine. I cannot go to sleep without the sound of the tv. I usually put the tv on auto off so that it doesn't keep running even if I am already in wonderland. And wonderland it is. I would be dreaming of something which turns out that is being played on the tube. It's my own story but the dialogue's not mine. Honest! hah!

When you seriously think about, kids should learn the value of a dollar earned... and how to save money at an early age, as soon as they're old enough to understand. Some of my little nephews, nieces and friends' children are so extremely spoiled by their parents... USD $1OO+ running shoes, gadgets (that they don't really need), designer clothes... anything they whine for... they get. And then the parents complain out loud that their kids don't appreciate the value of a dollar earned. I ask, "Who are parents? Who's setting an example?" You reap what you sow. (Alright, I'll get off my horse. HEHEHE.) Hehe… but maybe that magically mundane word should be mentioned in children’s stories, LOL.
