$0.05

I made a deal with Odin this morning- for every dandelion flower he picks, I would pay him five cents. I came up with it on a whim, and have been working it out as I go. So far so good. Today he made $4! 


He filled his bucket and then we counted them together, at one point he counted up to 28. Maybe I should have looked behind the house at the dandelion patch first. 

He is going to make a few dollars off of me yet.  I think this could go a long way in helping him learn money management, saving and spending. He is already talking about what he could buy. I'll keep you posted.

    Ha! We've joked about this, but hadn't tried it yet. He's going to clean you out!
    Jim got a nickel for every fly he could swat when he was a kid. That sounds more like I something I could afford. Have fun!

    Have you tried frying the blossoms? Its cathartic!
