Some things just run in the family



OK, I am sure you are wondering why I have posted a picture of a purse. Well when I checked our email yesterday, I wondered why I had an email from ebay saying that I had been outbid on a "Kate Spade Quilted Noel Maddie Handbag". I didn't even know what that was! I left it alone for a while thinking maybe I had accidentally stumbled upon a purchase that Eric was trying to make for my Christmas present. But, that just didn't sit well. This purse didn't even look remotely like something that Eric would get for me. I called him to ask him about it. Now, it was just a little suspicious that the purse had "Maddie" listed in the title, so we knew Maddie could have typed her name in the ebay search. I questioned her about it and she said she said she had told Ella how to spell her name. Now, Ella is constantly into things so there is not much that I would put past her, but she can't read so we pretty much ruled her out as a suspect. As many of you know, Eric buys a lot on Ebay, so he knew exactly what it would say when you click on "bid now". It will say you must enter a specific bid or more. So, Maddie followed the directions and bid on this purse. I find it all very humorous, because people laugh at all Eric and I buy on Ebay, and now our daughter is following in our footsteps. Here is the kicker - Do you know how much she bid on this purse?? $98.00!!! Thank the good Lord someone outbid her. It went for $99.00. Eric said that would have been her Christmas present if she had won! :) Maddie did finally confess, and we had a nice talk about what she can and cannot do on the computer.

Hilarious!! Like father, like daughter I guess. She certainly comes by it honestly.

I love it. That's hysterical. You're absolutely right. Our kids would get into serious trouble together. They're way to smart for their own good. Great story.

Wow! So if I actually ever win a bid, I'll just blame it on Maddie! That's too much. Don't you love those family moments?!

Perhaps you guys should uncheck the "keep me signed in" option!
That's perfect...I love it! I know, my day is coming. :)
