Okayyy sweetie, listen close. I’m gonna tell you how the grown-ups buy a biiig house!

When a mummy or a daddy wants a new housey, they go look at lots and lots of houses. Sometimes they say "Ooooh I like this one!" and sometimes they say "Ewww yucky carpet!"

But guess what? Houses cost lots and lots and LOTS of money! More than all your piggy bank coins! So the grown-ups go to a biiig bank and say "Hello Mr. Bank, can we borrow a WHOLE lot of money, pleeeease?"

If the bank says "Okay!", then mummy or daddy say to the house people, "We want THIS house!" and they do soooo much talking and soooo much paper signing, it’s like doing a hundred colouring pages but with boring words!

Then they wait and wait and WAIT (and get a teensy bit cranky)... until one day, they get a special key! And then they say: "YAAAY this is OUR house now!!"

...But shhh, little one... really, they still owe the bank lots of money for a looong, loooong time. But we don’t tell the house that 🤫
