Always a.. "WHY?"

Tweet

Again, my daughter (age 9) asked me this question, "Papa, why is it that Mama was so happy and smiled when you gave her flowers?" I replied, "It is because today is Valentine's Day and she likes it." She then retorted back saying "Then I think you should have given her money instead because she smiles more every time she you give her your money!" So I was dumbfounded on how she notice the little but truthful things! How can I explain to her that? That her mother is likes money even more? I just told her that money is just something we get by everyday but gestures of showing love is meaningful and heartfelt. She still insisted that I should have given money instead. What will be your answer if ever asked the same question by a 9 year old girl?
