you lied to your daughter. You had the money, you just didn’t believe a Barbie vanity was worth you giving the store a hundred bucks. She probably knew you were lying. Kids are smart like that.
So, better you had said she could chip in, say $10 and you guys could buy it together, or she could wait for Christmas or a birthday.
Still, I understand your point was that she thought you could go get some money (which you could have because you could organize a hundred bucks). That is what liberals think and they are right. Business does have some money, but, like you, business is not convinced what is offered is worth the money. To a liberal, the fact that they “need it” is enough to make you fork it over, the fact that you don’t see how it helps your bottom line is irrelevant to a liberal.
The only "lie" I told was when I said I wasn't sure I had the money for that. . in fact. . I KNEW DAMN WELL I didn't have the money for that!!!
