The Wisdom Of A Girl Called Katie


"What would you choose if Daddy said that you could either have a day out on Sunday or have ten pounds?"

Lesley was testing Katie (who's 7 years old)...to prove me wrong when I say that even children would rather have time with their parents instead of money.

It took Katie a couple of minutes to decide...

She answered...

"I would rather have a day out on Sunday instead of the money...because it's only money and family is more important!"

She carried on...

"Money is not important. Money is just what you buy something with."

Now...this wasn't a 'set-up'...as this conversation only came about when I asked Katie what I could write about today!

And...that was when Lesley thought that it would be 'fun' to prove me wrong!

Except...Katie (albeit after some serious deliberation - "Oh...those are two of my favorite things!") knows what matters most to her.

Perhaps there is a lesson here for us all!

P.S. Here's something that Katie wanted to say...

"Daddy was benning silly about saying would you like a day out on sunnday or ten,ponds. And I chorse a day out on sunnday and money isent inportent that mutch. But famliys most inportent."
