7.2002
"My tooth is loose. I want it to be out so I can have a quarter and buy some toys."
"Baby, it's not loose. You're shaking your head. It's only loose IF when your head is absolutely still, your tooth still wiggles."
"But it is loose! See!"
"No, honey- you're wiggling your head."
"But how can I have a quarter?'
"What if I give you some jobs to do around the house and pay you an allowance?
. . .a special job just for you to do and I give you some quarters every week?"
"What kind of job?"
"We could find something . . ."
"You mean clean up the house?"
"Something like that."
"But I don't like to clean up the house. . . Wait! I know! I know! I know! How about my job will beeeeeee . . .. I will draw pictures!"
