"It's not like that grandfather. I just don't want you to waste money on things I don't need. I am not a big enough celebrity to need one of those vans. But, when I become one, feel free to buy one in every color. You can even buy me a custom made one." 

He smiled and nodded. 

"Good idea, I will have one of your uncles begin searching immediately. One van in every color will suit you. You can change them as if you are changing clothes." His excitement returned and his ideas expanded. "My dear Xi Xi, your mind works better than mine. I was obviously thinking too small."
