Lesson Learned

---

Impulse buyer me…

Little Mushroom in hand ready for check out…stopped short…cuz there it was…the cutest little calculator ever…screamed happy…screamed flower power…screamed take me home…

And for under five bucks why not?…but still had to take pause…because by buying it…one of us…and she shall remain nameless…had to admit defeat…

Had calculators…several in fact…used them to balance the checkbook…but packing for the big move a few years back…packing me got a little cocky…

Calculator? she thought…who needs a calculator in the day of high tech…not this old gal…she can use her fancy phone to work those numbers…

And she does…but the fancy phone is small…too speedy quick almost…and each month one of us regrets throwing those old time calculators away…

And so it is…in life…sometimes you have to suck it up…own it…admit you were wrong…and if it costs you…say five dollars for the cutest little bigger calculator ever…

Then lesson learned…
