good call

Gavin's former piano teacher was great. We loved her teaching strategy and what she expected from her students. At the end of the schoolyear, she gave each child a gift for what they had accomplished over the year. Gavin said they got to choose between 50 pieces of candy or a $15 gift card to Cold Stone. Seriously? She said most of the kids picked the candy. Instant gratification is the name of that game. Gavin, however, exercised much patience and got the gift card. Wahoo, free ice cream day for us! It was fabulous and we have enough for 2 or 3 more visits! Well done, my wise child, well done.

Ok, my only problem with the story is, how in the world have you been to Coldstone once with a $15 gift card and still have enough left for 2 or 3 trips?!?!?!? But way to go Gavo!! Good choice my friend, good choice!

Because, Jenn, I am wicked cheap, I think you know that! We get a "like it" and all share. Who needs all that ice cream anyway! :)
