I am 100% believer that MY KIDS think money grows on trees! We have tried for years to help them understand the WHOLE money thing. We started with three envelopes, one is for saving, one is for giving and one was for spending! We LOVE LOVE LOVE when family and friends give them GIFT CARDS for Birthdays and Holidays and they see how fast it goes! A year ago Maddy was in TEARS at Build A Bear because she received a $20 gift card and after she built the bear and put in a sound that was it.... "She was like I did not put clothes on it or accessorize", I said you had $20 GIRLY.... Tomorrow we have the Twins Family Birthday Party at our house, and I asked the kids to clean up their rooms. They came out to the kitchen and said "we are missing three Nintendo DS games" I was like oh you are, well you better find them! Harrison says " Oh Mom you can just go buy new ones if we do not find them" (HELP) :( Here is the KICKER.... Miss Carley wanted a Hollister T-shirt so bad before school started. SO we bought her the shirt and NOW it is missing. HER PHILOSOPHY " Well it is getting cold out, I wouldn't have worn it much longer" UGH....I tell ya we work so hard and these kids just think we go in the yard and pull a couple bills off, then the next day water the money tree again and more grows! .....NOT!
What would George think?
"Show me the money"
"There is the money tree in our yard" :) LOL
