Bringing Home the Bacon

One of our church group friends recently shared a cute story about their 6-year-old daughter. Caroline was immensely proud of her Daddy who worked long hours as a lawyer in D.C. to support the family. On his return home one evening, Caroline caught her father emptying his pocket-change from the workday, and exclaimed enthusiastically, "Good job, Daddy!" Apparently, he was literally working for pennies.


Connor's 6-year-old's concept of money is not too far from Caroline's. While unwrapping numerous toys from his birthday party last year, he barely blinked twice at some of the gifts that were likely worth well over $10. But when he opened a birthday card and 6 dollar bills fell out onto his lap he jumped and danced for joy, singing, "Look, Mommy! Lunch money!!!!"
We certainly know the way to Connor's heart now.
