jukebox_csiI haven't been posting as many of the funny moments as I should. I know one day I'm going to regret that as it becomes easier to forget those moments and difficult to recall them. I still need to find a way to also download this journal in case it one day flakes out...
Peanut has these leather loafers that are his 'nice' shoes. He wears them to school and when we go out, etc. The problem is that he plays in them at school and now they are all scuffed up and looking pretty bad. So I asked my dad if he would mind shining his grandchild's shoes, since he has a kit and all. He was happy to do that. In the process of telling the boy what pawpaw was going to do for him, here's how the conversation went:
Me: This weekend we're going to take your shoes over to pawpaw and he's going to shine your shoes.
Peanut: Shine my shoes?
Me: Uh-huh. You know, when pawpaw was a little boy, he used to shine shoes in order to make some money.
Peanut: He did?
Me: Yep
Peanut: I'm going to give pawpaw a quarter for shining my shoes
Me: *caught by surprise and laughing*
Peanut: *continues speaking, serious as can be* Actually, I'm going to give him two quarters since it's two shoes.
LOL Business lessons from a 6 year old. :)
