Making money

Recently, Gage told me that he wanted to be able to get any wish he wanted. I asked him what he would wish for and he replied that he would wish for "all the money in the world." I asked why he needed so much money and he explained that he wanted to be able to buy any toy he wanted. Having walked through a few toy aisles with him recently, I knew that he surely was going to need a good amount of money. He picked up almost everything he could reach and carefully looked over the product, pronouncing just about all of them, "Awesome!" We were in the aisles with the cars, trucks, Star Wars figures, medieval figures, etc.

A week or two later, while I was at their house, Wendy took me to her computer to show me some photos she had taken of a project that Gage had been busy with. I guess he figured wishes were for suckers and he was going to take a more pro-active approach to his money needs.





He did a pretty good job, I think. His mom and dad must have let him look at one of their $5000 bills so he could get it right!
