Role play (2)

Then it was Nicole's turn to visit my store.

Nic " Hi, I am here"
Me " Hello, good seeing you again. What would you like to buy today?"
Nic " hotdog and the pot"
Me " Oh great. That would be $18"

Nic " That is too expensive. I am not going to buy it. Can you lower your price?"

Me " Sure, since you are my regular, I shall just ask for $15"

Nic " No, I won't pay $15. I will only pay $3"
Me " Oh no no no, I can't do it for $3. It is below my cost. Why don't you take this piece of bread and the plate instead? It will just be $3"
Nic " NO NO NO. I am not going to visit your store anymore. I won't buy anything from you again! I will just stay in my shop!"

Shortly after she went back to her own store, she came and "robbed" me of all my merchandise and she was happy again!! It was fun role playing with her but I could never be the winner or else she would start crying like a cry baby! :(

Ho Contented Mom, young children can turn us adults into children too....and with kids around, who needs the TV, ha ha.

I had a friend who brought up his daughter singlehanded....wife had passed away.
He did not buy her many toys, but more jigsaw puzzles, thinking games as well taught her to play cards, especially poker.

By 8 years old...we would tell the father not to let her play with us,....she could bluff us with a straight face...never forgotten she sitting on a cushion, head on her hands, both elbows on the table...and look at us, daring us to come in with our cards, ha ha.
Yes, kids are fun...wish my wife younger can get one more, ha ha.
You have a nice day, Lee.

She is very good in bargain. Actually this is good way to teach kids regards the bargain, which store sell cheaper. It can train them to be a good budget planner and $$ saver too.
