The 14 y.o.: I miss being rich.
The 10 y.o.: When were we ever rich?
The 14 y.o.: When mom and dad were both working. You might not remember it, but we used to spend our summers at the country club with our nanny either swimming or playing tennis. Well, when I wasn’t at Interlochen at camp. Mom drove a BMW convertible, Dad had a huge SUV and we had a car too. Oh, and we had a whole TEAM of ladies who cleaned our house every week. Loads of vacations. In posh hotels.We even had a chef for awhile.
The 10 y.o.: I like being middle class with mom and dad at home. But I do want a horse. And a chef would be nice. I mean dad does his best, but let’s face it – mom is the cook in our family.
The 14 y.o.: Well I can’t even remember the last time I played tennis or went swimming. But I know the last time I washed the dishes, did my laundry and cleaned my bathroom! So the cleaning ladies would definitely be top of my list if we ever get rich again!
