Conclusion
I can only conclude Rebecca drives a very cheap car and spends very little on food. She steals all her husbands money, never saves a penny and buys her kids lots and lots of sweeties (and muslin cloths.) One kid gets pocket money and the other one, bless her, gets zilch. (or at least that’s their story 😉 )
Thank you lovely ladies and I do hope you grow up to be a twinkle sticker and Queen Elsa, top job ideas!
Pop back next week to find out what Ozzy age 4 knows about money
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this post!
Can I do one with my 2 and 8 year old please??? 🙂
LOL this is brilliant. Naughty Mummy stealing Daddys money. I want to be a Princess Popstar.
Ahh this is so so cute!
Love their answers.
Awww I love those answers!! They are adorable.
This is very cute! It is so important to install lessons in money saving and the cost of living in our children but they haven’t quite got the hang of it yet:-)
Oh this is absolutely brilliant! So comical..please can we have a go next time round?
How utterly gorgeous! I so wish that life were so cheap, and our car was that easy to buy!
This is adorable!
This is so sweet and a sneaky insight into the whacky world of Rebecca! Love it 🙂
How cute is this interview? Very wise words at the end though! 🙂 x
This had me smiling all over and of course inspires me to interview my girls too!
This is a brilliant series…. what gorgeous responses – really made me laugh! X
Muslin cloths, I love it. What an amazing post. So funny!
Aww!! hahaha! This is so cute!
so funny! Goodness knows what Erin would come up with!
Utter genius, what was that programme, Kids say the funniest things?, takes me back Becky I love it!
Lol, I’m sure being Queen Elsa for a job will indeed pay a lot of money! Mich x
Haha! I’m laughing out loud at this – what a great idea for a series Becky! Classic answers. Who doesn’t love muslin cloths?!
I love this. I might ask my 3 year old the same questions. I’m sure he thinks money only buys kinder suprise eggs!
That made me smile a big smile! To be honest, at 37, my responses only marginally differ ;P Children are so cheeky and it’s lovely to see some stage where money means absolutely nothing.. wonderful to think that somewhere, sometime, money is totally meaningless! Such a whacky, ‘alternate’ post, Becky 🙂 Made me chuckle, I’m going to try asking my girls when they’re back…bet it’ll all begin or end with lego! :)xx
