No Points For Creativity

Zach and I were watching some show on the home and garden channel, Design on a Dime or a show similar to that. Designers making over someone's master bedroom on a budget. The female designer was making a headboard out of an old door she'd found at a garage sale. She was sanding and staining it, then she hot glued some decorative paper and wood onto it.

Zachary was watching intently, and when she started hot gluing he looked at me with his brow furrowed and said, "Mom, why doesn't she GO BUY ONE instead of making one?? I just don't get it..."

His face was so full of disdain at the thought of wasting time making something that you could just go out and buy. Which means no macaroni necklace Christmas presents in my future. Thank goodness for that.
