While shopping with my two lovely daughters for Christmas this evening at West side, Kolkata, they happened to set their eyes on two sets of toys which I felt were a bit expensive and too indulgent for kids. To avoid any showdown at public place I gave them the best (more often the facts!!) excuse of not having enough money to buy them and also that my Plastic money wasn't working anymore. Our drive back home was really sober and so unlike my family. For once I thought my girls have really come of age and that they are sensible enough to see reasons for not buying the toys. As we reached home, they start collecting their coins and reached out for their Mommy's Piggy Bank for inserting them inside. Taken aback, I inquired the reasons for combining their piggy banks with that of Mom's. They nonchalantly replied in unison -
"
WE ARE NOW SAVING MONEY TOGETHER SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THOSE TOYS NEXT TIME"
