I never had to work as hard as a babysitter as this girl did. Dishwashing, general picking up after the kids were in bed, and above all constant attention to the kids — no TV watching or reading for me! And I was thinking last night back to my spending habits as a young teen. I used to think of the purchase of something as so-many-hours-of-babysitting, not so-many-dollars.

I’m not sure if that’s the real message, but it’s realistic.
