So Miriam got a note from school that her monetary counting skills are not up to turtle rock elementary school's high standards. The circled portion read "below average (needs to learn the identity and amount each coin is worth . . . and to learn how to count coins from the beginning)- daily (underlined 3x) practice is needed." I was sort of proud of her cluelessness about money, (except when she was giving it away to her friend who knew what it was worth) but I guess those days are over. So we spent some time counting coins and she paid me 23 cents for dinner.
On a related note, for the activity portion of FHE we played "Who's got the quarter?" or whatever you call it and it's funny to play with two kids, one of whom is totally without guile and the other who is not so much. Once when they raise their hands, Miriam forgets to close her hands and the quarter is in plain view. Bekah asks, "Gwyn, do you have the quarter?" She smiles like she can't keep a secret and nods her head. (She doesn't have it.)
