I know it's more than a year from now, but the kids are really excited about going to Argentina in the summer of 2011. I bet Santi is also planning all the parties he's going to host... and now that I think about it, he's going to be 16 and we have two cars... (shudder).
The thing is that for whatever reason Flor thinks she's not going, so she is still trying to find a way to mitigate the cost of sending 4 instead of three. So here was her last proposal, which she whispered to her mother so I wouldn't hear (but I did anyway):
- Mom, what if we buy my ticket with Daddy's money?
She was referring to my coin and banknotes collection, which includes a few real dollars. She then said something in the lines of "Daddy has many, he won't notice". As if!
Still, I let her think I hadn't heard a word, because I found it very cute. I just hope her next idea doesn't involve harvesting and selling one of my kidneys!
El asunto es que por el motivo que sea Flor sigue pensando que ella no va a ir, y sigue intentando buscar una manera de mitigar el costo de enviar cuatro en lugar de tres. Aquí tienen el último plan que urdió, susurradoa su madre para que yo no escuchara (pero igual lo oí):
- Mami, y si compramos mi pasaje con la plata de Papi?
Ella se refería a mi colección de monedas y billetes, que incluyes –es cierto– algunos dólares de verdad. Después dijo algo así como "Papi tiene muchos, no se va a dar cuenta". Sí, claro!
De todos modos la dejé creerse que yo no había oído una palabra, porque me pareció muy divertido y tierno. Sólo espero que la próxima idea que salga de esa cabecita no se trate de sacarme un riñón mientras duermo y venderlo!
