Pops, can I borrow $10?
Sweetie, we need milk.
Honey, the washer broke and we need tires.
Susie needs braces and Will needs running shoes.
Do these people think I’m made of money?

Trifextra’s challenge is to write 33 words utilizing an idiom somewhere in those words. I chose Made of Money.
My dad said that many time when I was growing up.
Oh, I’ve heard that many times (maybe even said it a time or two :)) Good thing he’s not made of money or he’d be done spent 🙂
Love this Barbara! Great use of the prompt!
Been there done that.
I think my son believes his dad and I are.
Oh , this feels so real lately, esp as the boys grow and want. I keep apologizing to my mom too, sorry I thought you were. 😉
as always, a solid, well versed piece Barbara. XO
and money doesn’t grow on trees..but the little blighters keep coming back for more 🙂 Good one Barbara. 🙂
gah flashes of childhood!! (: Great job with the prompt!
Very Nice Barb
We parents do seem to get nickel-and-dimed to death, don’t we? This was well done, Barbara!
Oh the woes of family financials 🙂
This weekend I busted out the “Money does not grow on trees, you know?” to my son. I hate myself. 🙂
Perfect idiom and pic is perfect with it!
Haha Barbara!! Answer: YES!
too good and too true, lol.
There is never enough to go around:)
This rings so true!
They do grow up, responsible for their own destiny, and learn that not only are we made of money, but it doesn’t grow on trees either!
Wait — you’re NOT made of money?
Dang.
Thanks for the visit.
Cheers!

I know that feeling.
This is I think is a universal connect 😉 Good one!
so light and fluffy, but not! great.
Ah,the bitter truth but so well expressed:-)Loved the pic you added Barbara .
But I thought ALL parents were made of money. I wish I was made of money.
I’m going to take it up a notch and ask, if I give my heart and soul to the office, am I not then, in fact, made of money?
Great one, Barbara!
I think we can all relate to that!
Nice piece, Barbara.
