Cha-Ching!

Am I the only one who hears that sound all the time?

R: Hey, let's go camping this weekend.
J: Yeah, that sounds fun. Let's do that. Do you know where we put the tent?
R: Yeah, but I think it might be too small. We should probably get a bigger one anyway. (cha-ching!)
J: Oh.
R: And, hey, will you buy a mountain bike this week so we can all ride? (cha-ching!)
J: Oh, okay. Sure. That would be fun. I've been wanting to get a bike anyway.
R: And we'll either need a hitch to mount the bike rack we already have to the van or we'll need to buy another rack that mounts another way. (cha-ching!)
J: Oh. Okay. Um. . .
R: And, hey, did you want to get another ride behind? (cha-ching!)
J: No. Even if we each pulled a big kid, what would we do with Pete?
R: We'll just have to get a baby seat for him. I think there's room on the seat post for both attachments. (cha-ching!)
J: Oh.

And this, friends, is just one conversation that leaves me hearing noises lately. Here are a few others:

the new lawn mower/new weed eater talk
the new TV discussion
the "we really should put some work into the other car" chat
the "isn't it time Pete get a bigger carseat" talk
the "if I have to sleep on this crappy mattress one more night!" conversation

cha-ching! cha-ching! cha-ching! cha-ching! cha-ching!
Maybe it's ka-ching! Either way. . .
