I always told my daughter, girl, this is your house. Oh no, mommy house, mommy house. This my, she thinks I'm being facetious, but I'm being dead ass. Mommy is going to travel the world, okay? This is your house. By the time that she's high school, college age, this house going to be paid off by God's grace and mercy. So, girl, anytime we decorate the house, I tell her, pick what you want. Pick what you want, because this is your house. What do you want, mommy to plant some flowers or whatever? Because I'm telling you right now, Gigi beans, mommy is going to live abroad. Mommy is going to travel the world. So, pick what you want, because mommy ain't about to be here forever.
