The last two mornings W has asked me for a check for $35 payable to school with no explanation. Well this morning I found the paperwork. It's for the annual auction. Each class does some group artwork, and it goes to a parent auction to raise money for whatever. We have always gone together, and occasionally bought things. $35 a head at the door.

So her plan was to go alone.

Guess it's time to tell her I'm not her bank, and not to bid on anything she can't pay for.
