a kid can budget also....

Since we bought a new house 2 yrs ago , everyone including the kids should learn how to save something like water, electricity, etc. etc.

Scene 1

Dad: 'J,M!!' (sitting inside the car) 'How come you open the garage door already but still the lights are turned on!

J &M: 'Ooops, sorry'

Scene 2

Yaya H : Washing the dirty plates etc.

M : Tante H...yung water so stark, sparen (save) Tante, magagalit si Daddy!

Yaya H : Heh!

Scene 3

J : Dad let us eat pizza in our favorite restaurant.

Dad : I have an idea! Let us call the restaurant for special delivery and eat it while watching our favorite show (he he he). Tipid kaya he he he

Mom : Yap good idea Dad (wink wink wink)

Scene 4 (the best so far)

Dad : 'Hey M, what are you reading, werbung (advertisement)?'

M : Silent, maybe thingking. 'Dad, ist dass teuer? (Is that expensive?) Pointing to a big Power Ranger that cost around Euro 49.50.

Dad : 'Yap'

M : Ahmmm 'Ist dass teuer? Pointing to another Power Ranger that is really small (ha ha ha)

Dad : 'Nein' (NO) (Euro 9.50 ba naman)

M : 'Ahmmmm Dad, kann Ich dass haben....geschenk.....sa nexte geburtstag ko? with smile pa.(Can I have that on my next birthday?)

Dad : Ok.

M : Hug and kiss wow!

Kids sometimes know the word cheap and expensive, just explain and let them feel that we as parents should budget our financial needs. Smile he he he!
