有钱才能大方

女儿由于在高中换了外语课，无法满足许多大学的“４年外语”要求。所以，这个夏天在大学里修了一门法语课，想弥补这一不足。学校的counselor也极力建议女儿上。这不，快上完了，账单也来了：１５００块呢。女儿找自己学校的counselor，减了一百多的Health insurance(我们自己有保险），这余下的１３００多的账单，女儿昨天在上学的路上交给了老爸。

“Daddy, I am sorry that you have to pay so much. If you run out of money, you can use the money in my account.”女儿大方地给老爸说。

“Come on, I said that before 18, I would cover all your expense. So I will keep my words。 I take my responsibility, you better take care of your part. The test is coming.”老爸向来都是半真半假地和女儿开玩笑。

“I know. That's a lot of money. Are you sure you have enough money to cover the bill?”女儿看样子还真担心呢。

“Don't worry, I am going to change job soon. So I can take pay for 48 days. That should be enough for your bill. By the way, don't worry toomuch about your college cost. I have set almost 2 years of expected family contribution aside for you. Just work hard for your own dream.”老爸让女儿放心。

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

还真不错，这次这么大方地提出让老爸用她的钱。以前一块两块还要和老爸算账呢。今年夏天丫头自己挣了一千多块。前几天还转了１０００块到老爸的账户上拿高利息呢。有了钱，才有“当家作主”的感觉，才能大方啊。
