My little girl, daughter of a banker, has turned into a real saver.
After showing her how she could put pennies into her piggy bank, she now scopes out loose change with eagle-eye precision. It's actually become a fun past time for us when we're out. When she spies a penny on the ground, we pick it up and put it in Mommy's pocket or hers. Lately, it's even gotten more extreme. Last time I paid with cash for something and got a handful of change back, she looked up at me with excitement in her eyes and said, "MOMMY! MONEY FOR MY PIGGY BANK!" :)
So it shouldn't have come as a surprise to us when yesterday while we were visiting a friend of my Dad's, Mimi walked in to the house took her coat off and proceeded to pick up some change that they had lying on their coffee table and put it in her pocket! Ben caught her and called her out on it, while I tried my hardest not to laugh (she really hates laughing, and of course, especially if it seems like it may be directed at her. Understandably.) I guess we really hadn't talked about picking up money that didn't belong to you...
So next time Mimi is over, hide your change!
