steak

one evening last weekend hugh and i were talking about getting dinner together and faith piped up and said that she wanted steak. we already had dinner planned, and steak was not involved ...but she really really wanted steak. she even offered to buy it herself. what!? hugh and i thought this was so random (and funny) that we said, sure. hugh even offered to grill it for her.


so off we go to the meat market, her allowance in tow, fully aware of how much a steak might cost. we get there and she informs me that she has determined her 'budget' as $15 (and you've wondered whether she's like hugh at all). she inspects every kind of steak they have and settles on one, very very pleased with herself (especially since it happened to be less than a pound and so well within her budget). she couldn't stop smiling. even told the lady at the cash register that she was buying her own dinner.
(i had to then explain to the funny look that it was her own choice)


she was so happy with herself and her precious steak... that she even proposed buying her own meat from now on! haha!
