That little 'millionaire' individual followed me on my walk with the girls around the estate because mom would be a little late and gave him permission to. It was funny how that short session became a lesson on responsible pet ownership. Occupational hazard. I have to admit : I felt almost like a parent and my thoughts did go out to those mentoring moments in schools many years back.
Anyway, I was wondering how the topic of burning a million dollars had surfaced. While cleaning the paws of my dogs after their walk to the amusement of a domestic worker watching me nearby, I remembered that that primary school boy had requested me to play Counting Stars while he was copying some notes.
Take that money watch it burn...
He did not know the name of the band. I had him commit One Republic to memory of course because they are one of my favourites. But those lyrics he did recall and Counting Stars is his favourite song.
Just what have we done to young kids with our modern world subliminals I wonder...
