the house, the dog, the ladders, the jewels,
the soul, the family tree, the mailbox.

“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
