...but it was priceless!
Evy was cleaning their room for bedtime and proudly picked up a dime. After she boasted about her find, she rushed to put it in her money jar. Seren objected quite forcefully, throwing a colossal tantrum. "THAT WAS MY DIME, EVY!" she screamed, over and over.
"Finder's keepers; losers weepers," I counseled her. "If that was your dime, Seren, you weren't very responsible with it. You don't leave money lying around. You should put it away immediately, just as Evy did. It is Evy's dime to keep."
"MOMMY!" she screamed, "that is MY DIME! I stole it from Evy this morning!!!"
Mike and I could not stop laughing. Realizing the mistake she just made, she did not pursue the discussion further.
