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.
