Child's Perspective
Jonathan and I reminisced today about the value of money from a young child's perspective. Three nickels are much better than a quarter; it's three coins, after all. And everyone knows a nickel is more valuable than a dime. It's bigger!
Passages
David started a job at Toys R Us, and completed their training sessions. But because he was hired for seasonal employment, it was too soon before Christmas to give him any hours. That didn't sit well with him, so he found another job cooking for a pizza restaurant.
Nevertheless, it was a joyous day when his Toys R Us paycheck arrived. He and I took the check to the bank to deposit into his savings account. He beamed and told the teller that it was his first-ever paycheck.
Before she made the deposit, she asked him if he was sure about the transaction: "Maybe you'd like to frame it for your wall?"
Go Cubs!
Chicago is abuzz with all things Cubs! It's exciting after so many decades of hoping.
I'm Back
We have had a raft of serious troubles with the children, and I have not had the energy to write posts for this site. But what I miss about not writing is recounting the positive side of my parenting journey. I'm going to try to write more, partly as therapy for myself.
