This boy loves money. Not in the root-of-all-evil way, he just wants some for his pocket. He has no concept of buying things or what money is for, but as soon as he could say words he started saying "Pocket. Money-pocket." and pointing to coins. Nothing (well, except cookie-bites) makes him happier than being given one coin for each pocket. He's very proud of them. I think he believes his pockets are fulfilling their true purpose if he can put a nickel in each. Or more likely he thinks it makes him like Daddy!
I like Sammy's idea of purposeful pockets better than Zack's. I remember cringing the first time Zack stuffed pill bugs in his pocket. Later it was rocks and acorns. Then a bird's skull!! Uck!
ReplyDeleteWe will have shiny pennies for Sammy.
