Sam kept telling me I should go to the art store and get more canvases and paint.

Finally I had to explain to him that I haven't got the money to spend right now. I explained rent, food, gas...etc. He seemed to understand pretty well(not the first time we'd talked about it).

He started listing off other things that cost money, like clothes and toys. Yup, pretty much everything costs money!

So he thought about it for a while(Sam does that)and said: "I was thinking, mama, maybe I could buy you some canvases and paint."

What a dear sweetlet.
