Priceless

People-watching yesterday at City Stage (the annual weekend music fest in the streets of downtown Birmingham), I observed a chuckle-worthy intereaction between a woman and her daughter who was probably around nine years old. The daughter eyed the vendor's table brimming with brightly-colored city stages t-shirts and asked her mom to buy one. From the woman's weary expression, I gathered her daughter had been asking all day.

Daughter: Please, Mom, please. I want the pink one.

Mom: Not right now, I honey. We have to wait for dad to get back. He's got the keys to the kingdom.

Daughter: (incredulously) Jesus' cross???

Mom: (silence, then she couldn't hold back the laughter)No, honey, the credit card!

Obviously, our little friend got her t-shirt.
