It's how much!

Matthew and I had such a funny experience at wal-mart the other day! We love to look in the $5 movie bins (we have a seriously movie addiction) and so we decided to browse through the baby section while we were there. We looked at all the cute clothes and blankets. Then we got to an end cap and there was baby changing pads, which is something we need. I looked at the price and told Matthew we should get it since we are here. He looked at me - almost shocked - and said no and that we should wait until we have a little more money to be able to spend. I almost wanted to laugh because I thought he was joking. I told him we could absolutely afford it and I really wanted to go ahead and get it since we were already here and looking into them. He still said he didn't think it was a good idea so we started to walk to the check out area. I could not figure out why he was so against getting a changing pad. I started to get frustrated in my head: why doesn't he want things for our baby, why is he being so stingy, doesn't he want this baby as much as I do? So I said something! "Matthew, I don't understand. Don't you want to get things for the baby? It's only $25. Why are you being this way?"  He stopped, turned to look right at me, his eyes got big and he said....."It was $25? I'll be right back" then he walked off towards the baby section again. I was confused. What was he talking about? So I started walking after him and when I got there he was looking at the price tags. He still looked really confused. Apparently, the price tag for a glider and ottoman was under the changing pad on one side of the end cap and that is the price he thought it was this whole time. He thought I was pushing him to buy a changing pad for $350! When we finally realized what was going on, we had a pretty good laugh! Oh the joys of life!
