Giant Pencil

I sent Sophia off to the book fair at her school yesterday with $4.50. She and her friend were there for over an hour. I trusted that I had instilled in her the value of a dollar. She came home proudly with her purchase...a giant pencil.

Alisa- "How much did you spend on that pencil?"
Sophia- "It was $4"
Alisa- "You spent $4 on a pencil! That's not a good deal!"
Sophia- "Did you see how big it is?"

  1. Are you sure size only matters to an 8-year-old? (wink, wink) LOL. Good story.
