Can't argue with That

J tried to explain to the children the cost of milk (after yet another cup of milk spilled... not the cheap stuff either, H's $3.75 Lactose Free milk), in a manner that they might comprehend. It went something like this:

J: "Milk is really expensive, it's about half of your allowance. (H has acquired a large sum of allowance in recent days...) Would you like to buy the milk with your money H?"

H: "Yes."

J: "Well, how about this, would it be better to have milk or money?"

E: "Well, isn't it the same thing?"

 

We are still learning the skill of reasoning with children... it's a bit tricky.
