poor me

ellen received her first paycheck this weekend. Dave took her with when he went to clean a fish tank that belongs to an older lady. dave thought she might enjoy the company of a two year old. I didn't get a complete rundown of the afternoon, but I did hear that she actually went out and bought ellen mcdonalds for lunch. so it must have gone well. when they got home, dave gave ellen a 5 dollar bill for helping. me: oh wow, 5 dollars ellen! ellen: no, that's one dollar mom me: see that 5 in the corner - that means its worth five dollars. ellen: oh MAN!!! she promptly folded it into a small square and put it right in her pocket. i didn't know she would know to do that. usually she gives all money right to me...when she first started noticing money i taught her that all money goes straight to mom ;) guess she's growing up, and i'm going to be poor from here on out.
