Chaja and Sam were bickering and blowing raspberries at each other from the backseat of the car this morning.
“I’m tired of sitting next to Sam. I don’t want to sit next to him anymore.”
“Well, buy your own car and you won’t have to,” her father said.
“When I turn 16, I’ll buy my own car and Sam won’t be allowed to sit in it.”
“When I grow up I’ll buy a big limo,” Sam said.
“I’ll buy a BMW. Or a Mercedes. Or a Lamborghini.”
Then, from the middle seat, came a single, quiet sentence from Max.
“I’m going to buy a monster truck.”
“Yeeaah!” Sam said. “Then Max will drive his monster truck over Chaja’s Lamborghini.”
Laughter filled the car. The day was off to a good beginning.
Thanks for the comment on my blog!
This post is great. I can so see my two one-upping each other this way in a few years. Priceless.
