“If I found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow I would…”
Thus read the writing prompt given by my daughter’s writing teacher at some point before St. Patrick’s day. She handed the graded paper to me today; given her usual verbal exuberance I was surprised to see it held only a brief paragraph. I have to imagine that many of her classmates filled the front of the worksheet and half of the back as well.
And what would my little darling do with the Leprechaun’s bounty?
If I found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow I would save it. Because if I used all of it on unnecessary things, then have an emergency, I would be broke. It would be a better idea to save it. I would not use it. That is what I would do if I found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
God I love that kid.
Fiscally Responsible lil Lady, aint she?..
Now that’s proof you’re doing something right!
Oh lord. Fantasy meets reality.
You’ve taught her well indeed!
She sounds very intelligent and very “grown-up”. The teacher must have be surprised she wasn’t going to run out and buy a pony or something!
Just when you think they’re not paying attention ….
