I’m looking for an easy, enjoyable part-time job just to keep our family on the positive side of the bills. For the second time in as many days, my wife was talking with another woman about the transition. The chat went something like this.
“Josh is thinking about getting a small job at the Mac store.”
—“Really? That’s interesting.”
“Yeah, I’m just concerned he would buy a bunch of stuff and we wouldn’t see a dime of it on a paycheck.”
—“Why would he do that?”
“Because he likes all of their stuff. If we ever have extra money, he starts dreaming about what he can get from the Mac store.”
—“But . . . what does he do with it all?”
“He uses it. He doesn’t have much now, but if he worked there or if we had the cash he would.”
—[slight giggles] “But . . . what does he do with . . . makeup?”
“I meant the Macintosh store, not the MAC store.”
I don’t know, maybe my wife is onto a new model for a husband and wife business. We can call it “Fruit/Face,” a new Apple and makeup combo store.
