I'm a cheapskate. No argument. I am. I went shopping with my mom and Lucy today. We had a good time. Lucy is a little more concerned with what things cost lately. She hears about the economy. She hears me say I may have to go to work soon. Usually when she asks for things that aren't a need I say no. I say it's not worth what they want for it. I say maybe next time. I stall.
We were in Barnes and Noble today, looking at books. She asked for something--a book about KISS to take to Ian's grave next week. I didn't even hesitate. I just said yes and walked to the checkout. I was so thrilled to hear her initiate a conversation that she usually avoids. Progress, I hope.
