Andrew the entreprenuer
For once, Andrew is saving us money not costing us money!
Our cleaning people broke our vacuum last time they cleaned the house. Well, it was about time to get a new vacuum anyway, since the old one smelled like cat litter and we’d had it forever. Andrew’s dad already went to Costco and narrowed down to a few models, and I just needed to go in and make the final decision.
On a Monday night, Andrew and I headed to Costco. He was an angel while I was shopping for grocery and other household stuff. By the time we moved to the vacuum area, he started to fuss a little bit. I gave him his binky and rocked him a little, and he seemed to calm down. But just when I started to lift the vacuum trying to put it in the shopping cart, he began to cry vigorously. So we had to leave.
I returned the very next day on my lunch break, just realized the price had dropped by $32 on the same model I picked! Oh-my-god, Andrew saw it coming and saved us some money. What a smart baby. I’ve decided to switch his reading materials from Baby Einstein books to Money magazine!

Let’s see… $32 dollars by three months… using compound interest and factoring in efficiencies Andrew will gain as he grows up, multiply that by the average growth of GDP, equalize it with the trade deficit with China, and taking into account Alan Greenspan’s impending retirment, I figure I can retire when Andrew is 12. Whoopeeee!
