Show Me The Money!

by Leslie

I had heard somewhere - Oprah, I think - that it is time to start teaching your child about money if you offer them a $1 bill and a $100 bill and they know to choose the hundred. Now, I don’t have any hundreds floating around, but the other day, I did have a ten and a one. Julia grabbed them off my desk, put them in the storage basket on her tricycle and rode off. Grandma came across the money a few minutes later and decided to give Julia the test, asking her to choose between the bills. Julia, of course, chose the ten. So, I guess it isn’t too early to start teaching her about money. Although, this tells me she knows quite a bit already:

Julia: “Mommy, can I have some money?”

Me: “Money? Why don’t you go and ask Daddy?”

Julia: “No, mommy,” she giggles. “He no have it.”
