Mama counts dollars twice
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008 at 9:30 pm by meerimThe dollar costs 8.40 now. Mama has a jar with dollars (for the sep, "for a rainy day", she says, and every day is rainy). She counted them in the evening, twice. Then she looked at the jar as if it had grown. Then she said "so we are richer" and then "so everything costs more" and then, tired, "so we are the same".
Papa said a smart thing: "A rate is a number, a family is a family." I wrote it on a sticker.
