We all know that children don't necessarily have the best grasp on the concept of money but this week Kylen takes the cake. I have recently rejoined the American work force. In Kylen's mind I have done so in order to make money to buy him treats. Makes sense! I was so glad that Kylen understood that I was going to work for the betterment of the family!! However, I was a little presumptuous in my thinking.
Kylen really does think that I go to work simply to buy him treats!! He has decided that if he is able to give me money for treats than I won't go to work and that is precisely what he has been doing!! To date he has given me all his birthday money, change he has found on the ground, change I have given him from the washing machine, change from my purse (this takes the cake) and the $5 grandpa gave him specifically to buy himself a treat!!
As heartwarming and heartfelt as his gestures are not to mention a little funny, too, I hope he starts to understand that I still have to go to work. Otherwise, I might just give in for a Starburst!!
