Bright Spot of the Day with the Cheapest...
Dad: Hey... We have a place to stay for the Open. Long lost cousin who has a part time house in Greenwich... she will be in Boston most of the weekend, but welcomes us to use the house and the tennis court out back.
Care: Ooh! Yay! Not sure when we will have time to play tennis this year though... we have tickets for Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday night and Friday. Any luck with Saturday tickets yet?
Dad: Yeah, I think I got those too. One of my vendors found out I am a tennis fan and asked if I would be interested in US Open tickets. I said we needed Saturday tickets. He is looking into seeing if we can use his company's box.
Care: Box? At the Open? Uh, good work Dad! Good Work! Now, we just need to find a deli between Greenwich and the Tennis Center to get our lunch.
Dad: Pumpkin, if we have a free mansion to sleep in and 4 days of free tickets, I may just spring for lunch on site.
Care: Whoa. You can't be serious. Do you not remember the waffle fry incident? I'm not sure if I can deal with that again.
Dad: $7.50 for a small waffle fry was insane! I was not buying that! We had already paid $60 to just get in the place.
Care: It was 11 pm! I hadn't eaten for 10 hours! The tennis wouldn't end! I was going to faint!
Dad: Well, this year the sky's the limit. Waffle fries for everyone! Maybe I will even buy you that giant tennis ball you always wanted.
Care: Dad, that was 10 years ago. And, I finally just bought one myself.
