Mom and I were discussing gold prices and how it's so important to buy when the price is low, though the timing can be tricky.
Evangelina couldn't resist chiming in with her own question, "Why don't you do what you do with Costco?"

Literary Allusions for Avoiding Literal Illusions
This evening in the car ride home from dinner at the mall, we had a discussion about George Orwell's 1984, in which the Big Brother of government plays an oppressively controlling role in the lives of ordinary citizens. Later on when Evangelina started doing her homework online, Mom knew that sometimes our little one has a little window of cartoons on her screen filled with larger, unattended windows of school material. Mom sternly reminded her, "I'm going to be watching you."
"OK, you can be Big Brother."
