Told to me

Jack: Mommy, will we always stay in this house?
Emily: Well, no, Mommy and Daddy are trying to buy a different house right now.
Jack: The house with the chimney? (He visited this particular house with us, and noticed the chimney ("Where Santa comes down?")
Emily: Yes.
Jack: But we already bought it.
Emily: No, Mommy and Daddy are trying to buy it, but the man we're buying it from needs to fix some things.
Jack: Why?
Emily: Well, there are some things that need to be fixed before it's safe to live there.
Jack: Why doesn't he want to fix it?
Emily: Well, maybe he doesn't want to spend the money?
Jack: Why doesn't he?
Emily: Well, maybe he wants to use the money on a vacation or something.
Jack: Oh. Well, we can buy another house with a chimney. One that's already fixed.
