Guess I can start this off with a funny little story about my kids. Namely one….who is way to smart (alec)for her 8 years. She watches everything very carefully…you know her brain is working..well, one day I made an agreement with her, I gave her extra cash on the agreement she do extra chores. Well…later I asked her why her chores were not done, since we had an agreement…and I kid you not…this was her response:
| Quote: |
What agreement are you talking about? I will need to see that in writing.
|
Kids do watch what you do….and I know she has watched and listened to me going on and on (mostly about LVNV) 
Thought you all might enjoy that little story.

 That is too funny, Golden!!
You are right about kids watching and learning-alot of times they watch what you do, rather than what you say.
When my son was young, we were in a store and he wanted something. He was told before hand that that week, there wasn't any extra in our budget. I told him this again and he said, "well, just write a check for it"! AS soon as we got home, he got an educational "seminar" on banking and how you have to have money in the acount, you just can't write a check

OMG, too funny!
My youngest is famous in our family for his repeated references to the ATM - "can we go out to eat?" "No, I don't have the money" "well, just go to the ATM and get some!"
Guess they've seen me use that machine a little too often! Like you, Bossy, there have been many "teachable moments" with my kids when it comes to money! This site has been a great asset - I've taught my older son (16) all about credit and payday loans through my work with this site. Every person I help through a payday loan situation becomes a lesson to the kids.

Golden, I think sometimes we forget what sponges they are and I know I forget that mine has ears and is usually listening when I think he is not. This story is too funny!
