The Logic of an 8 Year Old

The other day I picked Kylee up from school, because she didn't want to walk home alone (Taylee went home with her friend). School pictures were coming up, and I told the kids I wasn't buying them this time. Funds are low and we just had family pictures taken, not too long ago. On our way home Kylee asked me, "Mom, if you only had one kid, would you buy them more stuff?" I responded, "Well, if I had only one kid, then I'd have a bit more money to be able to buy them more things, but I would not spoil them rotten." Then she said, "Would you buy them school pictures?" I said, "Probably." Kylee, very matter of factly replied, "Then why won't you buy me and Taylee's school pictures? There's only two of us in school, so it's not much more than it would be if you only had one kid." I couldn't help but laugh, because she had really thought this through. I had to explain to her that if I got school pictures, I would want to get pictures of the other kids too, and that gets really expensive. I had to admit that her logic made sense, and was proud of her for her creative thinking. :O)
