Fiscally anti-fun...

On our way to Target to pick up prescriptions...

E: "If I didn't have asthma, we'd probably have more money right now."
Me: "We have plenty of money. And I don't pay for your medicine - my insurance does."
E: "But you have to pay for insurance."
Me: "Right, but I pay for it so we don't have to pay when we need to see a doctor or get medicine."
E: "Oh. That's right. We're just not spending extra because the holidays are coming."
Me: "Right. We're just being responsible so we can buy fun stuff for Christmas."
E: "Yep. We still have money for food and bills and stuff, though."
Me: "Right."
E: "We're just not spending money on fun stuff like Dave & Busters or new toys."
Me: "Right. We're just saving where we can."
E: "Yep. Makes sense. Who needs to have that much fun, anyway?"
Me: *Sigh* "Right."
