I rolled my eyes and pulled my hand from him before turning my back, "no thanks. It's too expensive and I'm not going to use any of them. Just buy them some toys and books, but please, don't spoil them too much." I stated just so he know what to do.
"Don't think about the money, Allison. You can use my money with anything, I don't care." His voice sounds serious but I really can't see myself being the old me.
Where buying impulsively everything that my eyes landed to is the most important thing I can do for myself. It's different because I have to be practical. Money in this place is too hard especially when we are covered with poverty. I need to work too too hard just to pay for our daily needs. Being a mother taught me that I have to prioritize the needs from my wants. The real needs.
