The Power of Advertising

While watching a Cash 4 Gold commercial on TV...

Matthew: "Mom, I really want to do that."

Me: "We don't have any gold, Matthew."

Matthew: "Yes, we do. Your wedding ring is gold."

Me: "I'm not sending in my wedding ring--I wear it every day."

Matthew: "Why do you have to wear your ring every day?"

I tried to explain the significance of my wedding ring, but I don't think he got the point that sometimes symbols of love are more important than cash. When you're six and trying to save up for a lego set, it's all about the cash.
