When I was a kid I looked forward to friends of my dad coming to visit as I knew they would always dig in their pockets and give me an nickle or dime!The annoying part was when they would say "Here go buy yourself an ice cream" and I actually wanted potato chips or something else. It never occured to me that I didn`t have to buy exactly what they told me to.
