Me, "No, we don't have any money."
Youngest son, "Just go to the ATM and get the money."
Me, I picture how I can accomplish this if the money really is not in my account. I picture taking my husband's Avalanche, around 330 in the morning. Kids and hubby are asleep in bed and the truck won't be missed. I back up to the ATM, pull out a chain, wrap it around the machine. I throw the car into drive, hit the gas and as the machine falls over, it immediately spits out all the cash sitting in there. I leave not a finger print, or tire print and we all live happily ever after. But this is reality and I don't have a chain, even though I usually am awake at 330 in the morning.
"Honey, it doesn't work that way."
Son, "But it's a money machine, it gives us money."
"Honey, it gives us money out of our account. If we don't have any money in our account there's no money to give."
Son: "But the account is in the machine."
"Yes."
Son: "And the machine gives us money.""Yes."
Son, "Then if there is money in the machine then there is money in our account right?"
Sigh
Maybe I'll stop and buy a chain on the way home today.
