Money 101

We always make Elizabeth put money she gets into her bank and she's really good about it. So she got some money for valentines and kept talking about buying something with her "cash". "I could just buy it with my cash" would be Elizabeth response when we don't have what she wants to eat...yogurts, candy, ect. So we let her take a dollar to the grocery store today. She decided she wanted to get a little bottle of chocolate milk. Because of tax, I also gave her a dime when we got to the counter. The cashier at LeBlanc's was super and played along, allowing Elizabeth to "scan" her own item behind the counter before checking out. Then Elizabeth gave her the dollar but didn't want to let the dime go. Once I told her the lady would give her 4 coins back for her 1 she thought that was great! So in Elizabeth's mind 8 cents is greater than 10!
