Melly's Bargaining Technique

A little while ago while helping Melly go to the bathroom she says to me: "look mommy a dime (penny)". I respond "Let me hold it and you can have it when we go to the store next time". I thought nothing else of it until a few minutes ago when Melly brought it up. Our conversation went something like this.

Melly: "Mommy, give me a quarter."
Mommy: "No, remember I said you could have it when we go to the store."
Melly: "Mommy, give me a dime."
Mommy: "No!"
Melly: "Give me a dollar."
Mommy: "No I'm not giving you a dollar"
Melly: "Give me a dollar and a bag?"

I think I couldn't say anything I was laughing to hard. I don't think she really understands how to bargain. In due time I guess.

I think she learned to ask for money while we were grocery shopping at Macey's on Friday when she saw a Grandma give her grandchild a dollar to buy their own treat. When Melynn saw this the light bulb flipped on. "I want a dollar, Mom!". You can probably guess my answer.
