The Money Conversation

So my day is often filled with a running commentary as I like to call it. Parker talks to me all day long. The few times that I get tired of talking he will say "Mommy talk to me."

The other day he was asking where Daddy was. I replied that he was at work. He then asks me why daddy is at work. I proceed to tell him that Daddy goes to work to make money so that we can pay our bills. I tried explaining that is cost money to turn on the lights, heat and water. This did not seem to be getting through so I tried a different approach.

I asked him where money came from and he said "Your purse." You gotta love it. I thought it was real cute. I then tried to describe how daddy's money goes in the bank account and mommy goes to the bank to get money.
