Here’s a random story for you. The other day I was making cracker snacks for the kids and I put some honey roasted peanuts in the bowls. Sometimes they eat the peanuts, but usually they don’t. As a silly comment I said, “I’ll give you each a quarter if you eat all the peanuts.” Guess what? They did! When I gave Eve her quarter she ran over, put it in her money jar, and came back with a dollar bill for me. She said, “Here’s your change!” I tried to argue with her but she insisted I take the money. If I didn’t want it for change then she insisted I take it for eating my peanuts too. I’d make a fortune if someone paid me for eating peanuts!!

This morning we had a playdate here and we were sweeping the floors before our company arrived. I asked if she wanted to help sweep. She suggested we pay each other for our hard work. Silly girl. So we both swept (with me doing 90% of the work, of course) and I paid her a dollar and she paid me two dollars.

I don’t think she fully appreciates the value of money yet. :)
