$1 Million

The other day, Doug and I were listening in on a conversation that Jordan, Alexia, and Hunter were having. They were talking about what they would do if they had a million dollars. It went something like this:

Alexia: I would buy a mall!
Hunter: I would buy Seven Peaks and some candy.
Jordan: I would buy a snake.
Hunter: No, a lizard!
Jordan: No, a monkey. No wait, 10 monkeys!
Alexia: I would buy a police station so I could do whatever I wanted and never get arrested. I would also buy my own house so I could finally have my own room.
Hunter: Yeah, me too. Wouldn't it be cool to have our own room?
Jordan: I would buy all the Wii games and maybe my own football team!

Apparently when you are under 12 a million dollars goes MUCH further than we you are over 12. We don't spend much time just listening to our kids, but it was a very enlightening conversation!

Funny conversation! I think their personalities really come through as well. I love dreaming about that same scenario!

AND, I did not know you were LOST fans. We must discuss more! I think Michael is in the coffin since it was a predominately African-American neighborhood and he doesn't have any family, except Walt. Are you for Kate and Sawyer or Kate and Jack?

Yes, we are Lost fans! Our friends let us borrow the DVD's of the first few seasons last year and it got us hooked. Unfortunately, my life has been so crazy I have only seen 1 show this season! I am dying to know what's going on! The night I was reading your blog, my friend was over and she shared her thoughts with me. As for the whole Kate thing...today I'm hoping for Kate and Sawyer, although I change my mind frequently!:-)
