I guess I wouldn't mind this particular fundraiser so much, if I didn't end up purchasing most of the chocolate bars MYSELF. It's just so much easier to hand the girls a World's Finest, than actually cook them dinner.
Tonight ...
Megan: Mom, I only have 59 cents. Can I borrow one cent?
Me: Why do you need 60 cents?
Megan: To buy a candy bar.
Me: But they're a dollar.
Megan: Wait, how many cents is a dollar?
Me: ONE HUNDRED!?
I wonder if the school would let us borrow some of the fundraising money for a math tutor ...
Note after the fact: A friend suggested that perhaps Meg got her money and time facts mixed up. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so there must be 60 cents in a dollar, right? Makes sense to me. :)
