Conversation with Lana

Me: Tutu sent you a package in the mail. Do you want to open it?
Lana: Tutu sent me a package for my bur-bur cake? (birthday in Lana language)
Me: No, it's not your birthday. She just sent you a present just because.
Lana: Oohhhhh....opens gift
Me: What did you get?
Lana: Look mom! holds up two $1 bills
Me: Wow! What is it?
Lana: I dunno, but it's Lana's!

I guess we haven't been too good at teaching the concept of money. And since we're all about the frequent flyer miles, we mostly use plastic when buying things. Needless to say we had an important talk about what you don't do with money (ie. no ripping, no cutting, no drawing, don't give it to Tanner etc.). She is so proud of her monies and keeps it safe from Tanner in her drawer.
