When he likes something...

When my son went home one time with JBL PA Speakers, I asked him where he got the money he used for buying them.  He said it was from his allowance that he saved for more than a year.  He must really love those speakers because I remember how he came home too often and told me that he walked from school instead of spending his transportation allowance.  I also noticed that he stopped buying finger boards from his cash gifts.  That's what I love about my son; when he really likes something and he knows it's way out of my budget, he would save up for it.
