I’m with you, Clever Dude.

This is a neat trick, Nickel. Can’t wait till my kids are old enough to try it.

I only wish my parents knew the value of money to be able to teach me. They’re getting on track (20+ years late), and actually taking advice from me now.

What a great idea. I’m working with my 4 year old on money right now. He asked to learn about it. I’ll have to remember what you did here when he gets a little older and understands money better.

I’m fine with them doing it every time… My intention was to offer it on the second trip, but they asked even before we got to the door. Gotta love that entrepreneurial spirit!

Yeah, I think that your kids did a better job of teaching you the value of a dollar rather than you teaching them.

I especially like how they finagled your second trip to the restaurant into a money making venture for themselves.

Now it is expected that they can make that choice every time.
