It Isn’t Klingon I’m Speaking

The kid needs to get her hand xrayed again.

Grandma’s plan: Walmart, supper, xray in ER ($50).
My plan: xray (free, not in ER), supper, Walmart.

Me: Take her to get the xray now.
Grandma: But it will be easier tonight.
Me: If you take her now, I won’t have to pay anything.
Grandma: It will be the same thing later.
Me: NO! I’ll have to pay $50! Now is free, the ER will cost me $50!
Grandma: I don’t understand what you are saying.
