Nanas and oats

(I wrote this a few days ago...)

It's that time of the month again: the end. The time where I kick myself for going over my food budget last month and causing it to roll over to this month, causing me to have gone way over...again. That isn't my story, tho...here's my story:

We ran out of oats. I don't run out of things as important as oats! And yet, I did, causing the oatmeal eating members of my family much distress. And not only did we run out of oats, we ran out of bananas. Needless to say, Lincoln was very distraught this morning when I told him.

Lincoln: "Nanas and oats at the store?"
Me: "I don't have enough money today."
L: "NANAS AND OATS AT THE STORE!!!"
Me: "I really am out of money, sweetheart."

Lincoln disappears and a few minutes later I hear the garage door open and close, then he comes running in to the room.

L: "Money in the car, Mama." And he holds out a dime that he found in the car.
Me: "Oh, Lincoln! There is, but not enough for bananas and oats."
L: "Go to store tomorrow? Nanas and oats tomorrow?"
