Richie Rich

Yesterday Grant was playing in the front yard with Avery and our 3 year old neighbor. I had to ask the neighbor not go in our flower beds b/c of Beau's precious seedlings that we don't want broken or disturbed. Well the neighbor goes into our other neighbor's flowerbeds when I went inside. So, my 6( going on 35) year old son comes to tell me this story:

Mom, Neighbor Boy (protecting the innocent) went into their flower beds and I told him he needed to come out so he doesn't mess up their plants. He didn't want to. I told him he was acting like he owned this property and I told him he doesn't own this property and I know he doesn't b/c he is not rich!

Apparently one must be rich to own property??? (Keep in mind, the neighbor boy is 3 and can barley talk.) Grant then procedes to tell me that he rattled off the three reasons he knew the boy wasn't rich....and they are quite obvious. A. The clothes the boy had on....he was not wearing bow ties. B. He does not ride in limosines. and C. well, he knew there was a third characteristic of "richness" but couldn't remember at that moment.

So, the lesson? You can TOTALLY judge a book by it's cover...if a person is rich, he will be a property owner, wear a bow tie and ride in a limosine.
