Money

Eddie got down our piggy bank and took out some coins to put into a coin purse he has.  He did this for a while, then closed up the piggy bank and put it away. Then he approached Papa with an idea.

"Papa, I will use the coins for money and I will pay my money for toys. Lots and lots of toys—all the toys."

I said, "That's a good idea. But the problem is, that's not your money. It's Mama and Papa's money!"

Eddie rejoined "It's the family's money."

I assented to this.

He said "So it's my money too!"

  2. Yay, communism redivivus! (btw, don't 'bank' on familiar familial stereotypes: the first comment was not proffered by pun-addicted nonno, as you might suspect; nor was this one posted by philo-Soviet grandma Subie: we've corrupted each other and switched roles.)
