I think about it, but only a little while before I shake my head.

I like your first idea. I like saving money, but it feels good to save money and then use it for a gift. If you buy my ice cream and I buy your ice cream, they're both gifts, and we'll both feel good.

I stand on tiptoe to get a better look at the price on the counter. I think the lady heard what we were saying, because the price is less than five dollars, and I think the last time I got ice cream for myself, it was about five dollars. I take out a five dollar bill from my wallet and push it gently to her.
