Learning about Money

ET sometimes likes to play games, like club penguin and animal crossing, that imitate some aspects of life.

While we were driving in the car, he made a usual request to go to McDonalds and get an egg. (An actual visit to McD's is a somewhat rare occurence in which I let him have the egg off my breakfast sandwich.) I told him that we needed to save our money instead. He wanted to know why. I told him that daddy works hard to earn the money so he can have food, clothes and toys.

"But, Mom, I played the game and earned coins. So, you can have money to buy me a egg."
