It pays to have good kids!

This morning while the girls and I were at Aldi's, a really nice gentleman came up to our cart. He told the girls that they are very good and well-behaved children. He told them how cute they are and then handed each girl a dollar! Kia took it right away and said, "MUNNEY!" So hilarious! Gracie wasn't sure, you know her and strangers. But I helped her take the dollar and told the man he didn't have to give the girls money. He just smiled and told the girls to have their momma buy them a special treat.

They both held their dollars proudly and quickly began chattering about munney! Gracie was sure that a picture of a baby was on her dollar, but both girls now know that it is George Washington.

After storing the munney in their pockets for the rest of our shopping adventure, each girl decided that she wanted to spend her munney on kanny. That's Gracie-Talk for candy. Gracie chose gummy worms and Kia selected a Hello Kitty Pez dispenser. At the register each girl gave her item to be scanned and without hesitation handed over their munney.

All the way to the car, all I heard was "Kanny! Kanny! Kanny!" Fun experience!

Two things to note, George Washington makes a funny looking baby. And I need to work with Gracie... when someone hands you money, you take it!

I'm all about "kanny" too!! Maybe Gracie can teach Kia about the GOOD candy and we will work with Gracie on accepting money in all forms from anyone! :)

Yes, little Gracie needs to learn to accept all money! :)
