13th Jan 2014: Money on the wall
Dylan wanted his own version of what I had (see yesterday’s post). So we agreed, when he gets at least one coin for doing helpful things on every day of the week he gets to put it all in his money box and start again!

Money-grabbing apps!
July 1, 2013
Boy: What’s my password?
Mum: For what?
Boy: For downloading things?
Mum: You haven’t got a password for downloading things – you haven’t got any money.
Boy: I have!
Mum: OK, but not in a place where they can take it – they can’t reach your money box.
Boy: Oh no, they can’t. They’d have to have great big long arms like Mr Tickle’s coming out of the iPhone!

Directions to the treasure

DIRECTIONS TO THE TREASURE – Age 5
It’s from art. It’s where someone finds an arrow, then they find another one, and another one – and they lead them all around. Then they find different coloured arrows – they lead all around. Then they find different coloured arrows – lead them all around. Find different coloured arrows, lead them all around, and then finally, there’s the treasure!
There’s one ruby and one diamond. And all the circles are the money. And the person fills up as much as possible in their pockets as they can… And their hat – because they have a hat.
Domestic bonus scheme
January 13, 2013
D: Are we ever going to move house?
Me. Why do you ask that?
D: Just because I want to move house.
Me: Not at the moment. It costs lots and lots of money to move house and we haven’t got lots and lots of money.
D: So we won’t EVER move house?
Me: Well, if we run out of money one day, we might have to move to a much smaller house that costs less money to live in, and there might not be room for any toys!
D: Come upstairs.
Me: Why?
D: I want to give you some of my money, from my money box.
Me: That’s really kind of you, but I don’t want your money – we’re OK, we don’t have to move to a smaller house JUST yet! Thank you though.
D: But I want to give you some money!
Me: That’s lovely of you but no – don’t give me your money. I’ll tell you what – when you’re grown up, you can get a good job and earn lots of money and THEN you can give me some of your money!
D: Yes, because I’ll be rich! …Imagine if you have SO much money that it FILLS your house up, and you’re sitting in the dining room and all you can eat is money! And you go to find a toy, but they’re all buried in money and so you pull out the wrong toy and you can never find anything!
Me: That would be TOO much money wouldn’t it?!
D: Yes… I’ve got a plan!
Me: What, a career plan?!
D: Yes, I’ve got the goodest plan EVER about money!
Me: Go on.
D: You do a helpful job and, – where’s the 20p jar?
Me: In the kitchen.
D: You do a nice job for me, and I give you 20p from the jar!
Are you sure?
December 19, 2012
D: [singing]
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here’s my number
So call me maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me – not ‘cake’ me, not splat some cake in her face!
Me: We can play that song in the car if you like – I downloaded it.
D: What’s ‘downloaded’?
Me: On the Internet. You click on a file that you want, like this song, and then it sends that file to your computer or phone – after you’ve paid for it.
D: How can you pay for it on your phone? Is there a little hole where you can put your money in?
Me: No. You know what banks are – where people keep their money?
D: Yes.
Me: Well, after you’ve clicked on the things you want to buy, the website says “We’re going to take this much money out of your bank account – is that OK?” And then you say “yes” and you’ve bought it.
D: How can they know that you’ve said “yes” – can they hear you?
Me: No – it’s a button that you click on – “yes” or “no”.
D: I’ve got that on my iPad [innotab]!!! Sometimes, when I ask for a new page it says “Are you sure? If you have a new page you will lose your art.” And I press on “yes”, because I think it’s really rubbish. Not all the time though. Same sort of message though, isn’t it? Lots of things use it.
Me: Yes – it’s an “are you sure?” question.
Words jumping off the page
October 14, 2012
D: Do you know what I just thought about?
I was writing and suddenly I drew off the page and it broke off and it was actually real writing – even though it wasn’t on the paper. And the writing went drop, drop, drop, drop into me, and I started to get magic powers – so I flew over to Vikki’s where there were monsters.
I had awesome skills in my thought and the awesome skills were for real, I’m not telling a joke – I have those skills; I need those skills. The monsters – they’d swallowed all the children up without even chewing.
So I had my awesome skills, and I bought my gun with me from my dad’s. I got my gun with the flat bullets – they were round like money – Â and I went ‘pchew, pchew, pchew, pchew’. Then the monsters fell down to the ground.
Shiny buttons
October 12, 2012
D: Did it hurt when I got the fly out of your eye?
Me: No, you were very gentle – Doctor Dylan.
D: Yes, I’m a doctor – like in Crete, when I made my tummy-ache go away. And I’m a scientist – remember – from my birthday? And I’m a money-finder. A doctor, a scientist and a money-finder.
Me: That sounds like a good mixture of things to be.
D: Yes, I’m REALLY good at finding money on the floor. I’ll find some for you, because you said you don’t have any…
Look! Oh, it’s a button… But it’s sparkly! Do you want it?
Me: Not really, thanks for asking though. It wouldn’t match any of my other buttons.
D: You want them to match?!
Staying on holiday
August 19, 2012
D: I wish I could live in this country [Crete].
Me: Why’s that?
D: You get to hear the crickets; go to Star Beach every day; see if the cleaners have been; go to the mini market; have ice creams every day – even Scooby Doo ones…
Me: I wish we could stay too, but we can’t.
D: Why?
Me: I’ve run out of money.
D: Oh man! It’s not fair!
Me: You need money to stay here and I’ve run out. Have you got any?
D: Maybe they’ll let us stay here forever for free!
Me: that’s not the way it works.
D: …I’ve got the rest of my ice cream money?
Me: That’s not enough.
D: Well have you got some for half?
Me: Nope – I’ve got enough for tomorrow and the next day and that’s all.
D: It’s OK, because if we haven’t got the right money they’ll give us change!
