Six Year Old Economics

In Burger King this morning, the kids and I chowed down on a tray of saturated fats with large smiles on our faces and chatted about the day.

Jonah: You know one of the guys on Higglytown Heroes has a dad who sells hotdogs.
Me: Would you like it if Dad did that? You could have hotdogs all the time.
Jo: Mom!
Me: Do you know what daddy does?
Jo: Yeah, he’s a banker like the guy in Mary Poppins. He has two kids and we have two kids.
Me: Do you know what a banker does? He holds on to your money when you have too much of it.
Jo: Yes, because when you have too much, it keeps falling out of your wallet.

You should only have so much money as will fit in your wallet.

  1. Yah, well, you talk about the need for high quality day care. My kids think there is no higher quality day care than McDonald’s french fries with Dad…

  2. With credit cards, you can fit a whole lot of money in your wallet. Unfortunately, it’s somebody else’s money…
    As for cash, I never seem to have the “falling out of the wallet” problem. Money does seem to fall out of my checking account at an accellerated rate, tho.
