I find myself saying this to my son quite a bit. He is always playing with his sister and saying things like "I need that block/car/toy/ect"
I find myself reminding him daily, you don't need that, you want it! Since he brings it up, I decided to look at how often I say need instead of want.
How about the washer I just got, you know I said "with three kids I need a washer!" but really I want one so that I don't have to hand wash, line drying is one thing, handwashing is a PAIN!
Or Turkey dinner, I said "I need a bigger table" but really I want one, who said everyone has to sit at the table or all the trimmings have to be in arms reach? like walking a few steps on thanksgiving is a bad thing?
I bet there are thousands more I do everyday, but I need to go get some fudge so I wont write more now
