With age comes wisdom – or maybe not

Ed left on a long business trip today. Whenever he has to do that, he gives Ava cash.  Ava is supposed to use only the cash given to her and not credit cards. (Don’t worry people, the Brights are not up to their eyeballs in debt – Ed doesn’t allow that.)

“Spend it wisely,” says Ed.

Ava reports this bit of “advice” to Amy.  Amy thinks it wasn’t meant as advice per se but more along the lines of INSTRUCTIONS. As in, don’t spend it all today on cupcakes and shoes. She thinks he meant it’s supposed to last the entire 10 days he’ll be away.

“What?!” Ava exclaims, horrified.  “There’s not enough cash to get a frugal person through to Saturday!”

Anyway – here’s what the Sisters would spend the money on if Ava wouldn’t get into trouble over it.

Not like it's the first time the Sisters had permission to add one furry family member and came home with two.

Two tickets to the movie Legend, with all the movie stuff like $30 dollars worth of snacks AND Tom Hardy to watch it with them.

One small Dogo Argentino puppy.

Egg rolls flown in from NYC.

The most glorious shoes we can find.

A quick trip to Disneyland.

Sparkly collars for all our fuzzy children.

Those cupcakes mentioned above.

A whole bunch of lattes and books.

A truck load of glitter – because why not? I mean if we want to spend it frivolously, we should go whole hog.

Speaking of hogs, how about a cute little pig? How about THIS little pig? Any amount of money – honestly.

    So, how much did Ed give Ava to “spend wisely” for the whole 10 days? I can probably go for a couple of days without spending money, except for gas and some snacks here and there. But did he stuff the fridge full first before he handed her the money? If not then, I suppose it’ll all go to a party! Party needs food, lots, so it’ll be a wise investment. 😉

      You know, Ava didn’t divulge the state of the fridge. This is vitally important information! We’ll do some investigating and get back to you!

    FYI emergency glitter source: my car trunk still has glitter from some gift wrap you used for a box of books. So use your cash for one of those adorable micro pigs.
