Jabberwock is makin' money. Of course the neurotic parent inside me hopes that this is not a telling side-effect of his deep anxiety caused by listening to David and I discuss our own personal budget shortcomings, but if it is, I suppose we'll have to work a therapist into our budget somewhere down the line. As it is, I suspect he's mostly thrilled to have mastered the concept of the tens and ones place and almost mastered the skill of writing the number five in a consistently non-backwards way.
Also he likes to cut things into little pieces.
Anyway, after he made a set of prototype currency featuring simply the denominations in green marker (including the rare but very useful $1,004-dollar-bill), he decided to battle the threat of counterfeiters by adding an image.
Specifically, the image of our U.S. president.
He churned out about a dozen bills with the image of President "BarackObama" artistically rendered in green, mostly with his mouth open in a giant grimace of executive enthusiasm. Then, if you look at the bill in the center of the photo, he tried something new.
"Mom?" Jabber looked up from where he was sprawled on the living room rug. "President BarackObama has a mustache, right?"
"No, he does not."
"Oh." He considered his drawing. "Well, he should. He'd look good with a mustache."

I seriously think that you have my children three years ago. 8yo used to churn out counterfeit money ALL THE TIME. He still makes things with paper and scissors, I'm always finding little paper scraps on the floor.
this is too funny!! Tell Jabber that he doesn't need to make his own money, just find a game of Monopoly and use that money instead :-)
