7-year-old: How much would it cost to buy a real horse?

RegularDad: Oh, I dunno. About five thousand dollars, I guess.

7-year-old: Oh…. That’s really a lot, huh.

RegularDad: Yeah.

7-year-old: Well, how much for…say…a weak horse, then?

RegularDad: What? You mean like one hoof already in the grave? I dunno. Five hundred maybe?

7-year-old: REALLY?!?

RegularDad: No. Sorry.

There is a careful shopper in the making. Take her to a store and have her ask “how much for the floor model with the little dent?”, and you’ll save lots of moolah!

Yes, good point. She’ll also probably be really, really good at buying cars when the time comes. Me? I suck at that. I can’t even think about haggling over car prices without having an anxiety attack. But she’ll be a natural at.
