Last week, my nephew Max did something for me. I don't remember what it was, but I do remember that I offered him a dime for doing it.
Tonight, I remembered I owed him that money. But all I had were quarters, so I decided to give him one of those instead. He got really excited when he saw the money and grabbed for it eagerly.
But then his mom said, "That means you have to pay two pennies for tithing."
Max thought it over for a minute, and then handed the quarter back to me and said, "Never mind." If he was going to get money he most certainly did not want to have to give any of it up. I tried to explain to him that he would still have 23 pennies left over, but to no avail. He wanted it all or he wanted none of it.
Basically, I can't wait to have kids. It'll be great. Just great.
