Peanut is saving for His House

Today was a good day. Our whole family went to church. Pug got to go to his Sunday School class where he likes to sing "Happy Birthday to Jesus" and make crafts. I usually do, but this week they let us go into the big room and listen to a bunch of people speak. I saw mom and dad sitting in a pew and I waved at them the whole time. Sometimes they waved back and then dad made a motion with his hand waving it in front of his neck. I did not know what he meant by that, so I lifted my arm higher and waved even more. My teacher finally told me I needed to stop.
   We got home from church and were all huddled in the loving room around our fireplace. It was super old outside and snow flurries have started to come down. Not much snow according to some people, but to Pug and I it is so exciting, I know more will be coming soon. Mom notices some marks on the flat screen TV. Dad says that it looks like crayon so he gets out some cleaning stuff and wipes it off. Then he looks at Pug and tells him that he is not to touch the TV. He says that he saved up for a long time to be able to buy that TV and that we all needed to take good care of it. I thought about that for awhile and then looked at mom and dad and told them that I know that houses cost a lot of money. Mom looked at me and said "um, yes, they do". I said "Yeah, that is why I am not going to go anywhere, I am just going to stay here when I get older".  Dad looked at me and asked why I was going to do that, so I said "because I don't want to spend all that money, so I am just going to live here." Then I pointed across the street to the empty house and said "or I could just buy that house and live right there, that way for the Holidays or when it snows if you wanted me to visit you and play with you I could just come right over." Dad said "I am sure that your mom would love that." She agreed that she would. Then I said "or I could look around and see if I like any of the other houses that are still empty here, and see if they are for rents, you know for when I buy my Ice cream truck." My dads face turned a little red and he turned his face away, but I could see his shoulders moving up and down, mom just said that it would be a great idea. Well, then we went shopping so that is all that really happened today.
