Theo woke up this morning and asked if he could watch TV. I told him he could put on PBS. I wandered downstairs 10 minutes later to find him watching Suze Orman.
Me: Theo, why are you watching this?
Theo: It's PBS. And it's REALLY good, Mom. You and Daddy should watch it! Have you watched it?
Me: Suze Orman? Not really.
Theo: But it's very good information, Mom! It's about stuff like sending me to college. That's what's important, Mom--not having new, fancy cars and stuff.
Well. I'm glad to see he has his financial priorities straight, but given that our used, seven-year-old base-model minivan is our GOOD car, I don't think there's any worry about us blowing his college fund on a fancy new car.
