Beans and Rice

 Dave Ramsey.  He is all the talk at our dinner table these days.  We are in the middle of the "Financial Peace University" online version.  I listen to his show every weekday, and actually look forward to it!  Alexis has picked up on what's up in the financial world.  

A little background:  On the Dave Ramsey show people call in to get answers to their personal and business finances.  If the caller is in debt his phrase to them is "beans and rice, rice and beans until you get this debt paid off"

So...the story is this:
A couple nights ago Josh and I were discussing this article:

I was trying to figure out why a smart person would suggest that a hard worker would only be able to have 10% of what they make! Anyway...

Alexis, being the big four year old that she is, likes to be part of our conversations.  Upon hearing me ask the question "I wonder what Dave Ramsey would say?"  she pipes up: "Beans and Rice, Rice and Beans!!" 

And so it is true, "More is caught than taught".
