On money.

Ana learned a valuable - if traumatic - lesson today.

See, her tooth fairy money has simply been burning a hole in her pocket since she got it, and today she happened to have it with her. AND SHE WANTED TO SPEND IT.

( In which life is unfair in her eyes )

She decided to only get three cookies after all. Honestly, the shock and horror of realizing that more things = more money! My god!

Evangeline, for her part, likes to play store. And by "play store" I mean - as in all her pretend games - she says her lines, then she tells me my responses. (Sure, she can act! But what she really wants to do is rule the world direct. Clearly.)

So she pretends I'm the cashier (the "store"), comes up, goes through the rigamarole of buying something, and pretends to pay. And... then she just stands there with her hand out.

( In which Evangeline has made a surprising deduction... no pun )

Like my uncle Gabriel before her, when he was a child, she clearly thinks that getting change = getting money. Would that it were so simple!
