About 20 years ago we were at a waterfront cottage. To get to the dock we had to walk down many, many, many steps...close to vertical it seemed.
One day hubby was fishing off the dock. Our daughter asked if he wanted a beer. Sure, he said. Not wanting him to walk up the stairs she volunteered....and volunteered and volunteered , etc. After a while she asked in her sweet innocent little voice, "Daddy can I have a horse"? He said, "after the house is paid off".
How she knew when it was paid off I have no clue but about 10 years after that vacation we went looking for a horse. LOL
I think I need to get my hubby more beers. Ha!
Love it!
