Mommy’s little entrepreneur
Poppy: Mommy, I’m sorry your computer can’t compute as fast as your old computer.
Me: Thanks honey.
P: Maybe we can make it go faster!
Me: Yeah? How would we do that.
P: My store — where someone lives, called The Panic — has faster cartridges. We will use a faster cartridge from my store.
I would be worried about someone named The Panic living in my daughter’s store, but I happen to know that The Panic is the name of the store. I’m not sure who lives there, but I know they used to sell jewelry. I asked her why they were selling “fast computer cartridges” now, and she said, “They’re all out of jewelry.”
Carbonate! Carbonate!
I’m aware that the Penguin Water Carbonator would be a ridiculous way to spend $200. But if I had $200 to spend frivolously, I would buy it. The Fountain Jet, however, would only require around $80 frivolbucks.
