The boy and I went out to dinner tonight. Sitting across from us were a group of chatty high school girls. One girl had a super flashy Coach purse. We live in a super ritzy bay area town. Teens driving Mercedes is not uncommon.
Dave: Why does a teenager need a $600 purse? Why does anyone need a $600 purse???
Me: Ummm... My plans for tomorrow were to get a pedicure and then pick out a cute Louis Vuitton purse since I've been wanting one for awhile.
Dave: Oh. Seriously?
Me: Yeah. Seriously. But I might change my mind. I just got my hair done ($150) and I just bought a new computer ($1500) and I just bought 3 new formals today for the upcoming charity events that we'll be attending ($500). I can afford the new purse but maybe I should be be careful and save my money. Plus, I have tons of cute purses and I really don't need a new one.
Dave: What made you want the Louis?
Me: I was walking through the shops downtown with a friend and I saw the new fall line in the window. They've got some super cute purses!
Dave: (throws cash at me) For your purse fund. Go get the purse! ;-D
Life is good.
