7:30 a.m. Saturday morning. . .
Ponzi: Mom, wake up! Where did Dad go so early this morning?
Me: Golfing. Where else?
Ponzi: Oh. . . well how much money do you have?
Me: Why do you need money?
Ponzi: Well, remember how we're going to the shore today. . . just for the day. . . because you wouldn't let me go after Prom and sleep there like everyone else. . . and Susie's dad is driving us down today. . . well. . . um. . . . we just found out we need money to get on the beach.
Me: Don't you have any money left from the other day when you got your hair done for Prom? I gave you a hundred dollars.
Ponzi: Well the hairdo was $85 and I gave her a $15 tip.
Me: A hundred dollars on your hair? How much are you asking for now? Ten dollars?
Ponzi: No. . . not exactly. . . because. . . well . . . just found out about this. . . but because you wouldn't let me stay at the hotel with the seniors. . . well. . . um . . . there's this fee for using the hotel's beach. . . you know. . . because you're a guest. . . of a guest. . . I'm sure it would have been cheaper to have just paid for the hotel room. . . but anyway. . . they give you this bracelet thing. . . and Tammy was there yesterday. . . and she's going back today. . . and she's bringing markers and construction paper. . . so we're probably not going to end up paying the fee at all . . . cause. . . you know. . . we're going to make our own. . . Tammy and Susie say it's easy. . . but I better have the money with me just in case I need it.
Me: How much is it?
Ponzi: $67. For the day pass. It's more if we stay past six o'clock.
Me: $67 just to go to the beach for a day??? It's not worth it. You can keep driving down the parkway to Exit 25. I bought four season passes for $15 each. They're at the house. I'll give you the keys.
Ponzi: But this is with all the senior guys from Prom! Please! Please! Please, Mom!!!! I'll give you the first paycheck of the summer when I get it. . .
Me: But you don't have a summer job.
Ponzi: I know. . . . but when I get one. . . and when I get my first paycheck. . . I'll give it all to you!

OMG!!!! Tell her to go in the back yard and pick the cash of that money tree back there.
WOW and she is probably misunderstanding the $$$$ part anyway. You know how kids are
Mountains outta molehills
I can so see this in 3 years.
The Bank of Mom & Dad will be dry by then.
yikes my friend. and all before coffee again?
keeeeee-rist!
Yeah, but you totally gave her the money, right? :)
Ah! The drama of having girls on the scene.
holy crap, woman! I've said it before and I'll say it again... I think we're raising the same damn kid... only I have the male version!
Yep, and the check's in the mail too.
um, no. still no.
I think our daughters are twins, separated at birth.
So you're telling me I'm gonne be broke in approximately 4 years. I'm thinking I better enjoy myself while I still can...
I think it's impressive that a teenager gave a $15 tip. Great manners!
