Don not tell your kid to sell gold

Listen everybody - this is a warning to all the parents of the world. Whenever you live on the planet and whatever the number of children you have, you can never be sure what your child is going to invent in such a small head. We have never had problems with raising our children. One of our daughters is already of age and studies at a university right now. There were rarely any problems with her as a baby. She didnt even cry a lot. It was quite similar with the rest of our band - William, four years old and Helen, turning seventeen next month. As you may expect, William is the main hero of what happened lately. The story is short, but rather unique... Willy is a lively child, he keeps on talking very much almost all the time. He likes to play with his peers outside. Almost all the time we keep an eye on him, but that afternoon it was different. I dont know why, but he asked me if he could sell gold. I was a bit busy talking on the phone and answered something like: of course honey, go and play. He went away, went outside and a group of a bit older kids gathered around him. Willy wanted to sell gold and I told him to sell gold. It was all he needed to get rid of all my jewelry... He traded it for stones. I mean - couldnt he at least trade it cash for gold? Just kidding, he doesnt even know what cash for gold trading means. He is just a child and this is all my fault. Remember - always be aware of what you grant your kid permission to!
