Conversations With Shortcake: For Lease

Shortcake (looking out the car window): Daddy, what does “for lease” mean?

Daddy: That means you can rent that section of the mall and open up a store.

Shortcake: Daddy, I want to open a Wal-Mart.

Daddy: I’m not sure a Wal-Mart would fit in that space.

Shortcake: OK, I’ll open a Five Below instead. And I’d get all the toys and stuff for kids and give them to myself.

Daddy: Could I have a pair of ear buds?

Shortcake: Sure, as long as you pay for them.

Daddy: Do I at least get a discount?

Shortcake: Maybe, Daddy.
