Aidan Learns The Rules

This morning we were leaving a hotel with an arcade and promised the boys we would stop to play a few games before we left. As we tried to figure out who had spare change to pay for the games, Aidan started asking for money to play games. He tried Mommy first and she sent him to Daddy. Daddy sent him back to Mommy and he uttered the following,

"Mommy, money starts with Daddy."

Later this evening it was time for Aidan's haircut and the bartering that always accompanies it...

"Aidan, time for your haircut."

"I don't want a haircut."

"If you let Daddy cut your hair, I'll give you jelly beans."

"I don't want a haircut."

"If you let Daddy cut your hair, I'll give you ice cream."

"I don't want a haircut."

"If you let Daddy cut your hair, I'll give you ice cream and jelly beans."

"I want jelly beans in my ice cream."

"Done, let's go."
