One way to look at it...

• Gas to get to/from the mall: $2.50
• "Daddy, do you have any money for the claw game?": $1.00 (got something on the first try, too!)
• Two adult and one child's tickets: $22.50
• One large popcorn, one large and one small soda, one small fruit punch, one hot dog, one Junior Mints: $30.50
• The hug when he says "That movie was awesome, daddy!": Priceless.

Dammit, I miss my son.
