This evening my 16 year old was on his way home and called to talk to his 15 year old brother. Discovering that I had been working on projects all day and hadn't started dinner yet, he decided to get us dinner. So from his very first paycheck he treated us to a family size chicken pot pie with all the fixin's from the local "fancy" grocery store.
It was delicious, and he was so proud to be the "provider"!

I was vey proud.
Also, the phrase "return on our investment" is a family joke. We tease the kids that they are finally big enough to start "learning their keep". Nothing disrepectful is meant.
