BFFFFF for Sale

“Mommy tomorrow I need to bring P20.00 to school.”

“Why?”

“Because Ron said that if I want to be his BFFFFFF (that’s Best Friend Forever Forever Forever…. you get the picture) I have to pay him P20.00″

Hmmm… how do I answer that? … Sweetie, friendship is priceless (so you need a mastercard) …. Too deep…. Tell him you’re friendship is worth millions, so HE has to pay you… Too petty…. Natigilan talaga ako, I don’t know how to answer that (any suggestions?)

I think I just said something explanatory like “If he wants you to be his friend, you don’t need to pay him anything. Just be his friend and his playmate.”

In other words…. NO!
