Driving often provides a wonderful opportunity for my children and me to connect.
Today the oldest asked if I collected coins, because he had a Canadian Penny.
I answered no and the middle one in the back seat asked what the difference was between a Canadian Penny and a real Penny. To which the oldest answered.. “about 1.11 cents” (My little Asperger’s memory boy)
At which point I explained the concept of different currency and introduced them to the phrase “The Dollar is Up.”
And then to explain it better I told them about the phrase, “The Dollar is Down” as another example.
From the back seat I hear this from my middle son.
“Is there a phrase… The Dollar is.. left?”
And from my youngest sitting next to him…
“Is there a phrase.. The Dollar is Mine!”
Hard to drive when you’re laughing so hard!
