女兒的第一張大學賬單

女兒昨天把學校的賬單打印出來交給老爸，一個學期１１K。有點不自在地看著老爸：“Dad, what option do you want to choose to pay? Do you think you can handle this?”

老爸隻好說：“The worst scenario is that I sell our house. So don't worry, I can handle it.”

“But, dad, I don't want to see you lower your life style to pay my college bill. I can get some loan by myself.”

老爸知道說教女兒的機會來了：“Don't worry. Dad and mom will do our best. You need to do your best in college. See, there is a reason behind the big money--the better future after college. So you need to work hard for your own future. Dad and mom can only support you financially. You have to take care of the rest.”

“I know. I know.... Dad, could you please send me this wweekend to the shopping mall. I'd like to go shopping with my friends to buy something.”女兒求老爸。

“What's your budget? ”

“３００ bucks， one week of my earning....”

哇，什麽時候老爸也能這麽瀟灑？不過老爸知道，孩子錢的概念就是在花和掙的過程中學會的。
