Negotiations

10 y/o: Look what my teacher gave me!

11 y/o: I'll buy them off of you for $3.

10 y/o: I'll give you two for $6.

11y/o: That's not a fair deal.

10 y/o: Ok, $5 for one of them.

11 y/o: I have an idea. We will both turn around and close our eyes. I will put money in my hand, and you can put how many candy you want to give me in your hand.

10 y/o: But what if you turn around and have no money in your hand?

11 y/o: No, we both must have something in our hand when we turn around.

10 y/o: No, I'll just keep everything. Bye!

11 y/o: But my birthday is on Monday! Please!

10 y/o: No thanks. Bye.

    Capturing kids exchanges! Sometimes when we as adults stop to listen, they say the funniest things to eachother. Even funnier then when adults speak most times right??? Love it! Thank you for sharing.
