Money Lesson

Asa found a penny on the ground. He handed it to me. "Take it home and put it in your bank!" I said. He didn't want to. He told me that I could have it. I told him that I could give it to him tomorrow so he could give it to the church. "Good idea!" He said. I used this as an opportunity to explain that we take some money to save in our banks, some money we can take to the store and spend, and some we give to the church. Addison piped up, "And some money we put in our ears so uncle Cool Mo Dee can pull a quarter out!" Looks like there are four categories in our money management lesson.

*Yes, they call Uncle Mike "Cool Mo Dee". (Or Uncle Cool Mo Dee, or sometimes just Uncle Mo Dee for short.) Yes, they do this as if it were any name, and find no humor in it whatsoever. Yes, this was orchestrated from their very early ages by Uncle Mike himself.
