Mom laughs at her daughter's logic fail after sending her to the shops
When your kid returns with just one tomato and the math is not mathing...
A mother tries to understand her daughter's logic in purchasing just one tomato.
It's an inevitable truth for parents to question their children's decision-making skills. All you can do is navigate the path with patience, understanding and a will to prepare them for the real world.
One mother questioned everything after posting a video showing her daughter's logic.
We never knew a tomato could single-handedly make a parent question their child's decision-making skills.
But then again, the tomato is considered both a fruit and a vegetable, so if anything does pose a dilemma through its existence.

Lindy, a self-proclaimed mompreneur, shared how she doesn't live close to a spaza shop and needed some tomatoes.
So, she sent her daughter to get some from the closest store. However, it seems her daughter's entrepreneurial spirit has not yet developed, as she made a poor decision by buying just one tomato.
Lindy was left confused as she dangled the plastic bag that held a single tomato that cost R5.28.
It cost her more to send her daughter to get the tomato than the tomato itself cost. What's worse is that she revealed her daughter used her bank card to purchase the tomato.
"I said, 'go buy a tomato'. She drove herself to Spar. Used my card. Came back with one tomato. Kids will finish you," the mom says.

Clearly, the math was not mathing for her daughter. Lindy wondered whether this was just her daughter's 'res-mentality' in action.
Parents must listen and learn, and be specific when speaking to their children. This one tomato business is expensive.
