This morning I asked Aidyn about it.Me: 'What's the deal with that money on your dresser?'
Her response: 'Oh yeah, I need to put that in my piggy bank.'
'Why is it laying on your dresser?'
'Because I didn't put it in my piggy bank.' (duh!)
'OK, but why do you have it?'
'It's mine.' (this is like pulling teeth.)
'Where did it come from?'
'Nolan.'
'Why did Nolan give you $11?'
'He paid for something.'
'What did he pay for?'
'I sold him something.'
'What did you sell him?' (I'm getting frustrated with this conversation...)
'Wrapping paper.'
'Huh?'
'I sold him some of my old wrapping paper that I didn't want anymore.'
'And you charged him $11 for it?!?!'
'Yeah. He didn't have any paper of his own and he needed some.' (supply & demand)
'Aidyn, you can't take $11 from your brother for wrapping paper. You have to give him that money back.'
'Fine.'
So I went to investigate Nolan's room and sure enough...the exchange was made. This was sticking out from underneath his bed. $11 worth of Christmas wrapping paper. The $0.02 must have been tax.

Thanks for the laugh of the day. That is so funny. I am sure she is taking hints from Sean as he seemed to be able to negotiate like that. It does seem if there is a supply and demand the person with the supply has the upper hand.
Silly Nolan. Christmas Wrapping paper is 90% off at Target this time of year...
You silly people make me laugh. Shirley
That was funny! But did Nolan have to return the wrapping paper???
That is so funny. That's just the start of their negotiating days. Lesson #1 for Aidyn: hide your wealth (especially from your nosey mom).
Yes, Sean continues to be guite the negotiator. My favorite is when he sold a picture of himself to someone.

I've got a BUNCHA wrapping paper - gift bags too! If you wanna send the kids over with small, unmarked bills.
